An Unravelling of Time

Time Is a measure of existence Where we all play our part Looking back and looking forward We live so much and imagine so much Sketching life on our minds and our hearts Sometimes we break And we think we are- Irreparable But somehow - We move through time Changing and shaping This way and that – from darkness to light Shedding off the old Birthing the new into existence – we didn’t know was beyond-Times portals Here we explore the supernatural world of promise- at the Kings command We enjoy a Kingdom of priceless worth - it outshines times wrappings Time that is slowly unraveling Being discarded on the pile - Of a past life. © Brenda V Northeast 30th August 2012

Thank you- sorry to be so slow to respond to everyone's kind comments- but life for me is so busy being a grandma and actively looking after a 2 and a half year old so many times and many other situations- so sorry folk I am not on here more often- so I won't reply to all individually as I will never have time to read your poems and offer my voice to them. But I sure appreciate you all, love, brenda xxxxx

gosh, have I read your stuff before? The way you wrote this is very similar to my own style, on the few occasions i have done free verse. I hope to keep seeing you, Brenda. This was very nice.

Wow, what an interesting depiction of what time is! I really enjoyed the delightful way you presented this poem! It's so definite and extreme, time is! I believe in how you tell us how time works, very powerful indeed! Great Work!!
