What Is Time

Time, what is time all about It is the now of today Or the were's of yesterdays That you must live with Time is the watch on you wrist Counting the moments Watching them tic down Making new memories Time is lying in bed waiting For someone to call you To remember your there To ask do you need help Time is waiting for the surgeons knife to fall To put right what has gone wrong To give you that fresh start You have longed for, time = hope Time cant be revisited Its the now, one tic and its gone Use it wisely, irretrievable Never regret the time given to others The lyrics say "So much to do if we only have time" Time we do have its inclination that is lacking.

Loved it, and very beautiful. Time is the complexity with which we live all of life bot understanding, but embracing all the same. Stopping by in my poetry reading, came across this. Glad I did. Love, JuliMichelle

I just love this one. All about time. To some people Time is very important, yet to others time don't matter. Like I said in my poem ( Everything Happens In Time ) Time is everything you said. Thanks for sharing..... Lucilla

A good question you ask here Seren, even the best have never come up with a true answer of what time is. An old friend of mine called it the enemy, but in healing terms it can also be a friend. I think you sum it up best in your last two lines. Take care, Richard

Hi Russell, what would you have on this piece of artwork.a thunderbolt depicting the speed of time. Maybe a blank page, with txt on it, quoting a time adage? Have a think, let me know ....thanks Russell ....Seren
