Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Choka

Notes About The Poem

- a Matter of Time -

Fearful reflection
                                    Will the time, once go away ?
                                    Stop, at the end of the road ...
                                         and nothing will last ?
                                    - You can never own the time
                                    Every second - one heartbeat


                                           The time is ticking
                                       Living life to the fullest -
                                        in faith and obedience
                                        You might not see it ...
                                    Time has meaning and value
                                   I ask, where does the road go ?

Connie Marcum Wong July 21, 2019 at 4:15 PM The concept of time varies with each of us. You notice it most in youth going slow then as we age how the time speeds up.

Jennifer Proxenos July 14, 2019 at 3:04 PM Hi Dear Anne-Lise - each second you are so right is a heartbeat, and a failure of this second/heartbeat means death. Each second should be a treasure, as should be each minute, each hour and each day, for it is a blessing from God. An absolute fav for me, as I agree with you very clever write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I wish you the best of luck in the contest :-) Alexis Anne-Lise Andresen July 14, 2019 at 1:50 PM - Time is not a matter of course ... no one knows when the clock stops, Alexis :) - Many thanks for your visit and comments on my poem "A Matter Of Time" - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
