Time

Time is timeless. Uncontrolled! Unquestioned! Unfaultable! Unopposed! Unfathomed! She keeps everyone very humbly tied. The universe, at Time's command, gets swayed. I can't decide my age. Time does for me. I'm fifty today? Of course, she lies not. I will not wait, she says. 'Never stop me'. Flow with me or fly with me it's your lot. She was when I was born. She's as I live. She will be when I die; my course to end. In my sorrow and joy; or hate and love; In my goodness or bad, she's till the end. Time has a harmonious flow. Dusks! Dawns! Not a river. She's very well rhythmic. Time commands, demands yet victory crowns, Time's timings are hysteric! Historic! I asked the time, once, of her destructions. She said 'I neither create nor destroy, I am at the avail of all beings. Use me or misuse - is your array.' Time is a good friend. Time can be a foe. Time, the greatest of a benefactor; Time can be a blessing. Life's greatest glow! I am my Time's treasure's sole shareholder. Time, O beloved! Be benevolent! Imperfect as I am, make me content. Do not waste my existence as vacant. Bless me with graces gracious, abundant. 27 May 2021 Time Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke
