You guessed it, this is yet another poem from my anthology. I picked this one today because I'm feeling like time is just what I don't have enough of lately. I want to take apart my life, put some events before or after other events. I want to slow it all down and have more time to think and reflect on the consequences of my actions and how they affect other people. I want more time to make decisions that can change my future. But all you can work with is the time given you. So don't let a moment pass by, since you'll never have it again.
The sands of time constantly fall
Sometimes fast as lightening
Other times slower than a crawl
With time we’re always fighting
What we’d give for time to speed up
Or to let a moment last a lifetime
With time there’s never enough
Of daytime, of nighttime, or in-between time
They say time stops for no one
Not for the lowest servant
Nor the highest king
The sands of time keep falling
Though time won’t stop for us,
We’ll stop and wait for time
Wait till the time is passed
Passed like the past
Guess what my favorite part is.
ReplyDeleteOkay, did you guess this one?
"Though time won’t stop for us,
We’ll stop and wait for time
Wait till the time is passed
Passed like the past"
I love the first two lines especially. It creates a really cool image in my mind of time being a gigantic, unstoppable, invisible thing (you are impressed that I can imagine invisible things, huh?). Then here we are, little and small (which is redundant...haha), just riding on time's current. Cool image in my imagination; cool idea to tickle my thoughts.
Thanks for the awesome poem.
