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.

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.

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!
