Time Is

Time is...

The air that kills
The food that poisons
The grace that fails
This is just time...


Time is...

The hope that dies
The love that hurts
The peace that's chaos 
This is just time...

Time is...

The sun that's dark
The rain that burns
The earth that drowns
This is just time...

Time is...

Not to be trusted
Not to be hoped on
Not to be proud of
This is just time...

Time is just...

A creation not The Creator
Time isn't alive 
Time doesn't heal your wounds
It just let you forget now
And remind you later...

Don't give time so much credit
It deserves none of it...

A wonderful and deep poem. The last verse hit me with its the first line and the second, time isnt alive...so enlightened. The last two lines are very powerful in their energy. What i call a 'clean' poem, not cluttered with long words and deliberate wordery but full and intricate in its intelligent simplicity. Nothing more powerful thank you i enjoyed your mastery.
