A Letter To Time

A letter to Time



            Time, this letter is to you, an area of contention
            but first there are some things I need to mention
            and I also need your standpoint on a specific question
            before I hear anymore tick's and tock's,
            Like did you begin when the Aztec's carved dials into the rocks,
            Or when the Navy long ago created intricate yet extraordinary clocks?

            You've outlasted the multitudes and have 
            what I've heard a power to heal,
            If what I hear is to be true then that same power
            for all of our sakes wouldn't it command 
            or direct you to stay completely still.

            I just don't know I think that just like us you posses the power to kill,
            but unlike us and the fact that who 
            I'm writing to will never read this letter
            I've come to reality and say sorry for I forgot you are not real.

            But I could be wrong and if I am then you must have a favorite tune,
            and is it a sound or maybe a song sung by Eve ?
            or in this time here and now this I really ponder " Isn't she lovely"  
            maybe a song by Stevie Wonder?

            I Have to tell you only for clarity this next part I did dread,
            I asked a random woman and a random man if they had a 
            question for time what would it be the woman would ask for 
            more of you and moreover the man turned to me and said,

            More patience for it and time walk hand and hand,
            sort of like both parts of an hour glass fused together
            so as I lay my head in my hand,
            and realize the real question of this endeavor,   
            My question to you is if so
            do we represent the Dust or should I say Sand and
            like you
            really last forever?







                                                                                                 W...Truth

Yes absolutely but I only write when I'm inspired and to be honest this poem "Time" I was just inspired to write over this past weekend so I appreciate that you like it, Truly.
