Jay Narain Poet Monchielle Stanza

If Time

If time stops for a tick,
The waves hold breath offshore,
My life boat lost in sea,
Finds fate in destiny,
Time ticking, echoes,  me.

If time stops for a tick,
My heart shares love above,
The Romance in you & me,
Eternal bond, love's rule,
Time ticking, souls joined, we.

If time stops for a tick,
I'll stand like a mountain,
Avalanches come and go,
Trees stand tall, hardy, so,
Time ticking, spirit shows.

If time stops for a tick,
I reflect on my past,
The failures in my life,
Might turn into success,
Time ticking, same old life.

Lin Lane January 21, 2024 at 11:50 AM Time is something we can't control. It always seems to speed up when we want it to slow down. A well written Monchielle, Jay.
