The Relativity of Time

Time is transient, time is slow Time directs us where to go Time expands in time of stress And encourages us to rest Sometimes time keeps going fast As the excitement doesn’t last When hard times fall in our lap Time can often fill the gap Time can stretch for countless hours And exudes a magic power It can feel like many days When the passion doesn’t stay We crave hours in the day Bat at times keep them at bay Sometimes we want time to speed up When we are hard pressed for luck Time is transient, time is slow When we need it, we press “go” It can pass us just like that And can leave our needs unmet Treasure time in every hour Capture its tremendous power Although it’s not always the same It is here and ours to claim

I have found time to be very cruel. Love your poem. Time is a great subject, Alona:)

Thank you so much! I find that sometimes time goes slow, which can be good or bad. :) Everything is relative... Thanks again.
