From beginning to end
Whether we die or are here when the end of the ages comes there are three basic components to this life we live. There is a start date, the time we live and then it's over one way or another. A beginning the middle and then the final curtain.

Time marches on
In the years that a time capsule sits buried in the ground, a lot is taking place above the earth. The encapsulated materials might be forgotten until the date arrives when they are to be viewed but life is going on nonetheless. This Haiku offers a different way of processing the passing of time until the capsule is opened.

A capsule relegated to time
Tic Toc The Steve Miller Band song Fly Like an Eagle tells us that Time keeps on slipping slipping slipping into the future. And he did not lie. The idea of a time capsule placed in the earth in 1973 that will be opened in 2023, 50 years later is amazing. The contents have remained intact and encapsulated until the day of the unveiling. Life and time have marched on but whatever is inside is unscathed by life happening above ground. With each tick of the tock the old-fashioned hands on a clock moved along through seconds, minutes, hours, days months years, and decades until the moment of unveiling is at hand. This Haiku sums up the time capsule experience.

Hourglass methodology
This Haiku reflects upon how fleeting life can be and is a play on the opening monologue from the NBC/Peacock soap opera Days of Our Lives. From the age of 12 I began watching with my great-grandmother and each weekday afternoon I saw the hourglass appear on the television screen and heard the voice of Macdonald Carey who portrayed Dr.Tom Horton. For decades even after his death, those who tuned in would hear" "Like sands through the hourglass,s o are the days of our lives".
