The Beauty of Time:A Poem of Many Haikus

The concept of time 
Intriguing in all our lives 
Especially mine 

Is time an object? 
Is it something to fool with? 
Can we transform it? 

Perhaps we cannot... 
Can we manage it? Indeed... 
Where does time take us? 

Into a new world...? 
A world where photos are old? 
Even where WE'RE old... 

When my time is up 
I shall wait... Just wait. That's it 
What happens after?

Well constructed poem Richard! The concept of time is confounding at best. I like the line 'a world where photos are old' - normally we see photos as instruments to capture time - never aging. Well written poem.
