Premium Member In the whirlwind of time, who said that seconds are decreed
In the whirlwind of time, who said that seconds are decreed? That your steps must align with others’ concrete success indeed, That arrival is an unyielding mandate, and deviation a defect? You see them climbing the spires of their creation without regret. In iron and glass they carve their legacy, while you remain silent, A shadow frozen in the ruins...

Premium Member Seventy-three seconds
One thought, igniting the dream, Seven bold souls, steady as they seem. Ten missions past, Challenger soared, Twenty-five flights, the program roared. Tick-tick. A countdown clear. The world leans close. The clock draws near. Thirty-six degrees—a frozen doubt. A seal strained tight; the gas leaks out. Ignition. Roar. Climb. Silence screams. A nation watches shattered dreams. Seventy-three seconds, sky turned to flame, History echoes their hallowed names. At 5:00...

Ten Seconds
I'm down on the ground, My brain starts to pound, It may not be fun, But ten seconds aren't done. 10 seconds remain. I still have time, To arise again, The timer hasnt hit ten, Time isn't my friend, 8 seconds remain. I punch hard, I kick, I choke, I feel sick. I try to yell, over the incessant chants, This is the last time, my last chance. Five...

Premium Member Seconds
Each second dies so brief it stays among the minutes, hours, and days of living’s murmuration spell, in which we mortals have to dwell; as each moment slowly decays. Time is inconstant; it betrays; traps you in it’s alluring maze; then so, quite when, it’s hard to tell, each second dies. Time is not all that it portrays, that of a roll of endless days. Too...

Premium Member In My Last Seconds
In My Last Seconds In my very last seconds Because of life-long inclination Training and habit I confess, repent And take Christ into my heart As my lord and savior. And yet I’m not, Nor ever have been, A Christian. Is this a contradiction? Is this an impossibility? It all depends on The meaning of Christ. And what too many (Especially Christians) Don’t understand Is that other religions Have the very same concept With...

Premium Member In the cathedral of time, where seconds drip like holy myrrh on the altar of eternity
In the cathedral of time, where seconds drip like holy myrrh on the altar of eternity, We stand, creatures of light draped in mantles of shadow and doubt, With golden hands weaving the veil of reality, yet eyes covered by scales of ignorance, While the Great Weaver watches silently from behind the cosmic curtain. Our ship of destiny sails...

Premium Member ALL OF 90 SECONDS HEY PRESTO
It’s my graduation, What an awesome day, What can I say, Up a few steps, Then capped, Then down a few, Between me and you, All of 90 seconds No more, No fuss, no trumpet, No encore, I studied, I slaved, I cried, I worked through The night, For 4 years, For this honor, My family hardly Heard my name, But this Was for me, My moment of fame. Made all the More special, With the presence Of my...

Seconds Count
To believe in love is to believe in faith. Love is a feeling that no words could ever say, and Faith is believing in what is unseen. Both have their greatest strength in conquering. These forces are bound by our own chains, awaiting release from their stagnant domain. The answers we search for have been with us all...
