Time Spins People

So much growth just passes by
while our hours are on the fly.
Whether we grow and absorb
or miss each sight and single word,
our moment’s entire, total sum
is effected by each passing one.

Time spins people in and out.
Time may whisper, time may shout.
It is not clear on any day
which memory will firmly stay,
which will take us and shake us
into all that’s a plus in us.

What we do, changes us,
what we don’t, also does.
If no day seems brand new
perhaps your changes are too few.

Time has always intrigued me, CayCay, and it appears that you have also been effected by it! Enjoyed your musing, especially the final two lines...if no day seems brand new, then ours would have been a waste of time! ~ Regards // paul

This poem says things that point us to the path of self reflection with emotional markers that provide a starting point to our revaluations. Emile.
