When Time Hovers

Listen to poem:

it’s difficult to begin to comprehend the concept of eternity when life is bustling around us all arrogantly pressing and urgent so full of self importance sometimes in rare moments of silence when the whole world seems asleep without warning time stops and hovers i get a glimpse of what could be the thread of karma devoid of all illusion AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2020 posted on October 27, 2019

"in rare moments of silence when the whole world seems asleep" - this is a rare moment, but a wisely wise time to think.

I so enjoyed getting up early to see the sunrises many mornings this summer... Now I just light my Christmas tree in the morning - I know it's too early but I love it.

This is topping my favorite list, worthy to be a daily recital.

So very true... as we grow older things are not as important as they were when we were younger.

Great Write.... In this fast world, we need to slow down. I know, I must take a break from time to time.....

Absolutely, Paula. We put so much pressure on ourselves. We should learn from the people who seem to exercise balance in their lives... not that there are many of them. LOL

Line, Man's greatest enigma is himself. Nature and the poetry of earth are all around us, all we have to do is seek the silence.

Isn't that the truth. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Lunita.

This is very well written and well expressed. It makes the reader stop and think. We so seldom give thought to tomorrow let alone eternity. Well done. God Bless, JB

Line, I like your take on eternity and realities of time. It rarely hovers for me, but marches on ravaging as it passes. -Richard

LOL time doesn't hover for me too often either, Richard.

That is when I do my best thinking, in the silence of the quiet moment. I love your poetry dear Line, Hope you've been well, sorry I've been so absent, lately.

Great food for thought here, Line. It is, indeed, difficult to focus on eternity with all the hustle and bustle of daily life brimming around us! Nicely done. The title is a perfect fit too! Blessings, gw
