I glance at the clock to see what time it is, only to discover that it Cthe timel has slipped up on me and that I must make haste if I am to get to breakfast on time. And if I don't get there? My mother glances at the wall-clock and dryly mutters, f'The timef, My little brother refuses any re- quests with, UI don't have time. I am going to carry Matilda's books to school this morning and I want to get there before jimmy Whitlock beats my timef' Also, Dad stares at his wrist, slams down the morn- ing paper, bellows, 'CTHE TIME! and runs out the front door to catch his bus to the war factory Cat which time he punches the time-clockl. Time flies at school. Every time I'm late, my teacher's eyebrow rises up and says, 'CA fine time to be com- ing to classf, What is a little time? This is what I'1n telling you!

I l Olf' 80Lf5lfLlf'8 Sillmta 'Neath blossom-laden branches we slowly wander. Under dusk- filled skies, we move. Hand in hand, eyes lifted, fingers clinging, in the thrill of life on this eve of springtime, we come. Alone, we breathe the sweet, darkening air that stirs in gentle welcome among the branches, and drifts caressing petals down upon us, as we move. Under the thick bouquet of trees, we stop. Together we watch night's glimmering arrival, until the ,last pink blossom deepens to a dream of silhouettes. Our hands drop apart, and in the darkness your fingers touch my cheek. As I return, I am alone. Some- where in the black stillness above, your lips are tender in a smile. For one brief moment, one solitary hour, you descended to me from some far- ofir shore, and though we spoke no word, your kiss has told me you are safe. I am at peace, and unafraid. . .
