Time

Time has wrapped its arms around the universe Where distances are measured by the speed of light It holds our mortal frames for a short while Then releases us to eternity Sometimes you will have no time to lose Or you may have nothing but time History is a journey back in time To teach us not to make the same mistakes Yet we seemed to have missed the lessons Are we speeding to our destruction? Or will we change course to avoid disaster.... Only time will tell 4-13-2023 Contest Name: Writing Challenge - 'T' Words Sponsor: Constance La France

A very wise write, Joseph. We humans seem to learn the most obvious lessons at a snails pace. I do not see a positive change on the horizon, personally.

It's hard to tell if it's time for us to speed up, but most often it's beneficial to slow our pace. Life shouldn't be lived as if we're in a race. I enjoyed your lines, Joseph.
