Moments In Time

We must move forward from moments of the past The rearview portrays a world that no longer is there A moment in time on the clock that was never meant to last These are fleeting moments of the mind that everyone shares Time is a lovely illusion that everyone loves to hate The clock is a reminder of the vulnerability and limits of time It continuously moves us forward to our inevitable ultimate fate Our memories are a way for many to reminisce and press rewind In this way we travel in time back to the many places we have been Remembering a life that was there but, in a sense, never really was Places captured as pictures in our minds that we would love to see again Hindsight is 20/20 but also a very unforgiving judge Remember to live each moment as if you'll never see it again Share your time & yourself with all those you truly love

This is a great thought provoking poem Jasen and so true. I love the line,’The clock is a reminder of the vulnerability and limits of time’. The last two lines are very poignant. Something to really consider. So enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
