The Paradox of Time

You've seen what time can do How winds carve rock and how ancient seas dumped their sediment on the ground take note of the changes Proceed cautiously Our eyes have tasted fire our ears have seen the progression of time Let's take joy in nature's dance Let the earth take a few more whirls wait patiently for the inevitable march of the days, months, millenia

thank you for your return comment,Matthew the orignal i wrote was in German, obviously there is something lost some people say, from each different discription however i like the effect! in that something beyond my control is given life in that process, i even used sort of off centre words in the same poem last week to this end.

liked the almost timless echo that runs with this poem, and the cadence of its words, Matthew.
