Time

TIME Something you can’t see nor feel Something you can’t hear. But something certainly real TIME is always here. Is it stationary and stable? No, though we may have that notion Can’t confine it to a table. For it essentially defines motion. As in “long time ago” We say time is past and gone’ But then we often know And say” the time is yet to come” It seems to be a paradox When the future becomes the past Putting the present in a box A moment time stands still at last. We say, “How long will it last?” Length?; does time have dimension? If so, has it a shadow to cast? No, ‘tis an abstraction., that’s my contention. Time, the great enabler, As recorded in earth’s journal, Allows happenings to occur’ Ranging from instant to eternal. Time can go fast But as you and I know, When it never seems to pass Time can be so slow. “Time’s too short, it takes too long” But it can’t be both: is something wrong?
