Ria April Avalon Poet Rhyme

Time

What is time? A restless wheel
That will never cease to roll,
It may trick you, it may heal,
It can build a stone wall
Or a bridge between two sides,
Two big worlds of now and then,
Time is force and it decides
Where changes come and when. 
I just wish I could deceive
Mighty time and change its speed,
Freeze it when I have to leave
Anyone I ever need,
Make it faster when the day
Seems much longer than the night,
Help this winter turn to May,
Chase the weeks in their flight.
But the clock will never lie
And my magic spell won't do,
Time's eternal - feelings die,
Life is evanescent, too.

David Fisher February 25, 2015 at 8:24 PM Really enjoyed your poem on time, Ria. It reads so smooth and contains such meaning. I'm glad I took the 'time' to read it. Check out my 'My How Time Flies' story if you want.

Michael Wegman February 25, 2015 at 7:16 AM Ria, beautiful prose and analysis of illusive Mother time. I am a student of time...history, or time gone by, and the power that comes with knowing it, and supporting our modern world with those facts. Thanks! Enjoyed!
