The Face of Time

Listen to poem:
the face of time stands still beyond yonder silence its breath like ice strangulates its presence stifles all men must stop before it as time wonders aimlessly time balances all wills eternities keep marching like soldiers on their parade coherent structures falling into the abyss now only ashes of time after all succumb father time carries no wounds capturing its prisoners all bow before time we exist within its realm held captive in existence no time left to rot slipping into not being who will remember my name? oblivion comes only a second in time thus I am not here no more July.08.2019 Fives and Sevens Poetry Sponsored by: Joseph May Pic #4 Background music...Pink Floyd~'Time' With a male virtual voice N/A for contest

Old Man Time lies in waiting for us all - a depressing though sometimes, as our lives are snuffed out in a split second but we all do leave behind some form of legacy behind, a wonderful poem ^WW^ and as always creative, and thought provoking Love, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I'v always found time to be my friend. As the wise man said to the King 'This too will pass.' It is a wonderful healer. And as far as dying is concerned, if it was a bad thing, everyone wouldn't do it. Have a great day.
