Time's Times

I have traveled through Time’s times
The good, the bad, the seemingly endless
Walked blindly through the light of reason
Pranced across the edges of now’s now
Wept in the loneliness of crowded streets
Laughed in the darkness of black cat alleys
Cursed the rising of an unset sun
Whispered my secrets to a cold moon
As I sit alone watching a broken streetlight 
Flash semaphore signal on the wet pavement
I wander through another of time’s zones

Imagery - 'semaphore signal;' creativity - 'now's now;' defiance - 'laughed in the darkness of black cat alleys:' This poem's got it all, John. Amazing write, Gershon
