Race Against Time

time races onward
                              race 'gainst fatigueless moments
                                      time wins every time

So true, BJ. No matter how active we are (+ that is vital in aging), time wins out in the end, a slow whittling away. Till those final suns, we dance. Be well. Brian

Yes, it sure does, It is fatigueless, I am sure not. Seems I'm poking along like a tortoise these days though I feel I'm racing along like the hare. Time will win, no matter what. Thank you for your visit and comment Sara, I always enjoy coming over to see your poems. Be well, and God bless you :) <3

Time is a very mysterious thing to many. Some times it seems like time stands still and at other times it races by. Thanks for sharing your Haiku with us BJ. Have a blessed day! Bill

That is so true Bill, Why do vacations go by so quickly, and yet at other times, an hour feels like ten? All I know is I move like a snail even at top speed, I know I use to be able to get way more done in a day. Sometimes, I wonder if it's just me, or if the days are actually getting shorter! Thank you for your visit and comment Bill, I hope you and your wife and family are all doing well.

Time - We can't waste it or it can't be gotten back also if you don't use it you lose it. Make sure brain is in gear before proceeding with caution. A very clever and well thought out piece. God Bless, JB

Yes, every precious second, sometimes I feel I'm riding backward up a hill, through bushes, and trying to juggle all at the same time. The day I wrote this I just got home, had probably less than five minutes to organize and sit down and write a poem, I was feeling so bad I hadn't been able to write for awhile, and then right back out the door! My son told me when I look back on my life from heaven, it will be funny. He said I'll be zipping in fast motion and probably never stopping. Seems like it!! Be blessed sweet lady, I know you really can relate to this poem, I don't know how you do it all.

Oh, that is for certain. I always feel guilty because there is not enough time, probably in my life, especially in a day to get all I want or need to be accomplished. Even now, reading back on comments that I didn't respond to yet, and that makes me feel so terrible, but at the same time, there are a bunch of things I still should get done tonight, and it's so late already! But you know what? I'm just going to try to clear my mind, and be here in the present, in the joy of reading poems, and replying to comments on this precious site :) Thank you for your visit and comment Michael, God bless you :)
