TIME
Woe is me!
Woe is me!
Time is against me
Time is my enemy
Time is that troubling
"dimension", which I
sometimes question
We call it morning (12 AM)
during darkest night.
Time...a calendar counter
measures everything;
sports, music, industry, science.
Then, there is:
"BE ON TIME, YA HEAH?"
Yesterday and Tomorrow--
are they part of time?
Is time a fundamental
structure of the Universe?
OR simply is it
"time that keeps everything
from happening at once"?
(Maybe Eternity is now.)
Does this moment have
no true beginning, nor end?
Forgive me, clocks, but I
believe you're all phonies.
Has anyone else arrived
almost before they left?--grin!
Mind-boggling, I tell you!
Say "old man" if you like
but it's the body which is old.
Not me! I feel like we shall all
"Live Forever"
PEACE and LIGHT!

ReplyDelete=)
great voice!
ReplyDeleteYour woe is whoa...
ReplyDeleteHow very philosophically astute.
ReplyDeleteI love that ending! Time is a perplexing construct indeed
ReplyDeleteI like this Steve.
ReplyDeleteTonight I wish I had more time
"to walk the dog' but I am 'dog tired ' so here I sit and waste my time watching TV
I hope 'time' will be very kind to you and give you much more time to keep us all entertained with your poetry.
time is a fascinating subject and i like your thoughts here... i find it intriguing and one day it will be of no importance any longer... that will be cool...smiles.. hey.. the girl with the violin is on the way to you..smiles
ReplyDeleteLess than a year ago I unstrapped my mother's wristwatch from her arm, shortly after she had drawn her last breath. I said with another woman's voice, Mother, you have left time now, you don't this this any more. Then I hung a pearl necklace around her instead. I guess she still likes to be good looking. I figure we are spiritual beings on a human thoroughfare. I'm looking forwards to eternity, but I hate the years threatening to make me helpless. Old should be another word for dignity, not a redundant shipwreck waiting to be chopped up. We can still help turning people's view. We're not there yet. Gotta go, got an important job to do.
ReplyDeleteYes, the spirit does not age at the same pace as the packaging! Nice Mag.
ReplyDeletecontemplating time in various forms..time fills space in the journey of life...hopefully, we should live more in the moment as time is not promised to anyone..
ReplyDeletepeace & light
