The Mystery Of Time

“So many things we know as true... are redefined in future's view.” -by Poet What's happened to our measurement of time? When I was young, a Summer was sublime. From end of Spring to the first day of Fall- that space of time seemed epic, never small. Our clocks and calendars compute time well- the way they've always done, to surely tell the days and months we spend mete out the same; but now, perhaps has altered its old game. Oh, time has changed- for young and old now say it's passing quicker in a puzzled way. One week, a month, a year- advances fast; presents an altered value from the past. Perhaps time is a mystery unknown; not bounded by our measurements alone.

Great quote You whole poem is very thought provoking, Sandra: I agree is does seem to be flying by as I get older. I think time can be measured by how much has to be fit into that space allowed and modern life has so much more than in our childhood days. Beautifully written on a puzzling subject. SuZ

I find as I get older it seems to fly by quickly, frightening when you think about it. Good luck in the contest Sandra. Tom

Truly, time is a mystery and it changes in its own way. You have captured the transient aspect of time so nicely, Sandra.
