Notes About The Poem

Time

Sun rises, sets, repeats~
Seconds, minutes, years disappear;
Time runs out and time continues,

Wrinkled faces speak of time's passage,
Of moments lost and dreams left undone:
Time is swift and does not stop for us.

Season follows season:
Leaves fall, snow melts, flowers bloom,
And time above all does not notice.

Chetta, your poem is a beautiful and poignant reflection on the passage of time. It is beautifully written and deeply thought-provoking, and I am particularly impressed by the way you use language to create a sense of both urgency and certainty. Your poem is a powerful reminder that time is precious and fleeting and that we should cherish every moment.
