Time

‘Tis true, time waits for no man, but moves swiftly along Age to eon, in big laps or small, time is never retrievable Once gone it can never be recaptured, even in song Moving inexorably forward into realms unbelievable. written May 24, 2021 entered "Time" Poetry Contest sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke

Darlene, this is not Panagiota. This is Milt. Sorry for the confusion. Panagiota doesn't allow comments on her poetry, as of lately, for some reason.

No one gets this until it is too late for them. "Once gone it can never be recaptured," Wow!

Very wise quatrain Milton, no one can never go back and reclaim what has been lost. Time does not wait for everyone, but it passes at a remarkable pace from age to age, from era to era, from long spans of time to short ones.
