There are many images that run through what's left of my mind, and for the most part, inspires the poems I write. As for Washington, it's comic inspiration for writing and financially beneficial for proctologists. Sometimes letting your mind wander can bring on a verse. Vince

Mitch, i could almost read your reply before reading it. I am with you on this i think. WE invented time. The way i see it, there isn't 365 days a year...we have added a leap year to mould it. So i agree, what is time...really??

Carolyn, many thougths here are ones that i have shared! There for what is being said is that the past is being run....Well, now! And the future. Does it mean this blog has already been completed? And not even written yet? I am a believer we only have one soul and i can't get my head around my sould living other aspects of my life. I am pleased with all the responses so far

If it's called `Time` I have read it- I believe time is killed, fast forwarded, stalled and stopped for a while then restarted. Our clocks follow accordingly- but in our souls we know these changes have happened, What do we do? We look at the clock and rationalize it, and move on with our day. My only proof of this is that no two days seem like the same amount of time went by. Do they?

Just read your poem and I must say I have had "haunting thoughts" that everything throughout time may be occurring simultaneously. Daver Austin and I have discussed this concept. Enjoyed your poem! Love, Carolyn

Gareth, I just read your concept of time, and of course, it is a poem! I can't say that I have hauntings of the mind. Only hauntings of my husband snoring at night (sorry, just had to say that). I rarely get something coming to me that i just HAVE to put down, but it's happened to me a few times and I long for those times when the muse truly inspires me that way. HOwever, most of the time I just trudge along, finding my own inspiration in contests and things I observe around me. As for time, it is not a big friend of mine usually. I hate that time marches on the way it does. Have you ever imagined God and eternity and just what it will mean to live forever and ever and ever and ever and . . . . (Utter monotony?? Or bliss?) And imagine that before us, before God even, was eternity, going backwards into infinity. That is the one thing that has blown my mind thinking about. LUv, Andrea

I am sworn to secrecy but I know whats up Andrea's sleeve for her excellent blog on words... just read your poem on Time and left a comment for u to chew upon... every time I create a poem it haunts my mind until I write it down on paper or directly into the computer for safe keeping .. I won't be able to do anything until I write it down its so intensely strong of a feeling and urging to pen it quickly... time is our enemy and time is our friend.. I have a poem written with this line as the highlight of the poem itself... u can call it a "haunting" ..I just call it an "urge" which has to be released on paper pronto or it will be gone in a flash.. great blog Gareth..luv.. "Sweetheart"
