Notes About The Poem

for the contest "Time" sponsored by Ink Empress

The Unbroken Space Between

Time... is a transcendental sense of being
which exists in a perpetual passing that's relative
in a ceaseless motion that never moves
where tomorrows vanish and today becomes past
Time is an interval traveled across dimensions
   of lineal value
of what is felt and what is unknown
like the timeless sensation of a kiss
measured in lengths of whispered breath
   and heartbeats
Time is the gravity of yearning between lovers apart
as eyes meet from a distance
and moments become duration undivided

It is the scale used when seasons change into seasons
and movements are counted in days
   into perpetuity
time is beyond our understanding
that we move within
using clock hands as reality
as we feel what can never be touched or measured
   only imagined
except for the unbroken space
   between birth and death

This is amazing. Time is definitely the elephant in the room that everyone sees and tries to get around but can't. Blessings

Dear Frederic, I like the way you explore the concept of time as a transcendental force, weaving together moments of love, longing, and the passage of seasons, which is profoundly moving. Your poetic words evoke a sense of awe and contemplation, showing us the intangible nature of time and the vastness of existence. This is a beautiful reflection on the mysteries of life and the unbroken space between birth and death. - Blessings, Daniel
