Only a Matter of Time Part 2 of 3

Oh, We Can Instant Replay A Recorded Movie Reel
But That's Not Even The Same Point In Time's Flowing Field
When Its Live Action, No Rehearsal & Reality
Time Does Not Repeat Itself - Like Our Errors In History
Each Iota of Time Carries On Individually

"... See There It Goes, Ooops There's Another, Look At Time Wink!
Every Movement, Every Action, Every Touch & Every Eye Blink
Even Every Stillness  & At Every Thought We Think
It Is Faster Than Our Heartbeats
& Time Has No Twins, Nor Repeats"

Time Is A Magnet That Attracts To A Point
Time Makes Sure That All Occurrences Are Joint 
Time Pulls & Pushes Us Into Position
(I Told You Time Is An Interval Thru Intermission)

From The Place of Conception Time Goes On & On
From A Place of Concealment - Time Had A Home
To A Place Far Away, Time Continues To Roam
And To Those Left Behind - Time Is Gone

Time Is A Rate Exchange & A Scheduler of Life
Time Is The Hugest Pie That We Try To Cut With Knives
Every Generation Endeavors To Eat  Up A Slice
Yes, Time's A Precious Commodity Worth A Ransom Price

And Time Is Of Such A Tremendous Amount
That We Must View It In Parts To Bravely Number-Count
& I'm Afraid We Can't Calculate The Total of Time's Sum
'Cause We Have Never Found Where Time Started From
(Not Even When The Universe Begun)

So We Repeat It On Our Calendars, Clocks & Watch Faces
It's A System That Allows Us To Try To Find Time's Embraces
The Revolution of Planets & Night Sights Up In The Sky ...
Has Time In Every Formula As It Steadily Speeds By:
Mathematics Must Use 'Times' To Multiply

See, It's Only A Matter of Time
Before The Dark Gives Way To Day
It's Only A Matter of Time
Before All Wrongs Yields To Right of Way

It's Only A Matter of Time
Before A Gift Wrapped Box Is Opened
It's Only A Matter of Time
Before A Written Word Is Spoken

It's Only A Matter of Time
Before Youth Gives Way To Age
It's Only A Matter of Time
Before A Reader Turns A Book's Page

It's Only A Matter of Time
Before Lovers Share Some Token
It's Only A Matter of Time
Before Winter's Hold Is Broken

It's Only A Matter of Time
Before Grape Seeds Turn Into Grapevines
It's Only A Matter of Time
Before Same Grapes Become Fine Wines


(Part 2 of 3)

Oh I loved it Linda ... I liked the suspense of it and the diversity in thought. That's what makes a great poet of today - your imagination & your uniqueness in style (don't ever compromise your talent) Your Poem Alice, kept me guessing all the way to the end - that's excellent! ... Keep it coming Kiddo, ... Poet Sis, MoonBee
