The Eyes of Time

I am the eyes of time.
Think not that you
    can escape my power.
From eons down to seconds,
I see every blackened decade
   and your each and every
               golden hour.

Only God Himself 
    can comprehend me.
Did He, in fact, create me?
He can go in
              and out of me
for I am as a full moon
   that blooms forever
         spherically.

I see all,
        so I know all.
~Neither dusk nor dawn
   can delude me.~
I’m the cherry blossomed tree
        of beginnings and
     ~the foliage of farewell~
~As the leaf of life 
      sleeps upon your lips.~

As your loved ones age,
   I watch with no remorse.
  You too will wilt away.
     I’ll utter not a sigh.
  Only God and I can
     see all history,
and always, like God,
      I shall remain.

I am the trinity of
  past, present and future.
    Omnipresent -
        I’ll be watching
                 ever-knowing
in every galaxy,
   on the waters of all seas,
  and from every kind of sky,
   and I abide even
 ~when the soul-stars 
              dream and die.~

And your eyes are so full of attitude I'm amazed you can see at all. (sorry, couldn't resist, I turned cocky after '.... with no remorse.') (putting on my serious hat - where is it?) THIS IS BAM, BAM enthralling writing that is laden with poetic devices that detract not, they deliver. I loved every second of the read. BUT I AM NOT sure God made you, no remorse and all that. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT PENNING. You are my favorite chameleon. CayCay

The stern part of Time in the poem is really striking.It is the hardest truth in life and it makes love urgent.Very well done.

Andrea: The Eyes of Time - Stanza 1 dares reader to go on. Reminds me of English poet John Donne: “No Man Is An Island”, “The Hound of Heaven”. Only God Himself can comprehend me. Did He, in fact, create me? Scary question: Speaker claims divinity, challenges speaker’s Godliness. As a retired lit teacher, I am fascinated by this piece. Keep writing. Continue to challenge.
