Time

“Time is money” “Time heals all wounds” “Time is what you make of it” Truth, somewhere in the ticking corridors we daily and nightly transverse (Poe said brightly and dimly dreaming) -- ticking echoes of walls man does not see beyond without visual aids of Faith...death the sign of exit. Time is a game of Hide-n-Seek. Life may not be the only conscious player….

No one knows the day, hour, or circumstances of our end on this earth, but praise God, I know Him Who knows and is a just and loving God. I enjoyed reading this one today and I think quite a bit about time and what length that I have left here on this earth. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Joe--your poem re-ignited my thoughts about time..I thought about the Chicago song, "Time? Doesn't anybody know what time it is?" I often ponder, is time just a human construct? If so, what relevance does it have. Anyway, I ramble. Your poem includes some delightful wisdom. Have a blessed evening, Sara

Hmm...Time...a human construct...? Yes! In my opinion you are correct. Time is like math, means nothing until given tangible associations. Sped up or slowed depending on our speed or level of consciousness. Einstein had it part right...would have had more right had he not left out of his equations the dimensions of Mind and Spirit. Blessings my friend.

Hi Victor; for sure: Time is opportunity...to succeed or fail. What will we do today? Hmm? Thank you my friend. Blessings.
