" TIME "

Time only seconds,

between the world and I.

Yet still its a mystery,

that's passed me by.

When a day has came,

and passed away.

I can't go back,

to yesterday.

When the hour has passed,

catching the memory alone.

I can't get it back,

the hour is gone.

Time is valuable,

and needs special care.

for once it's gone,

I can't repair.

It's midnight now,

the day is through.

Did you capture the memories

most special to you?


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I just thought that everyone should know how fragile TIME  is to us all.

Fragility of Time

.

We wait for it impatiently

and when it arrives it is gone

we run to catch it

and it filters through

our grasp.

.

If time was a trickle of water

seeping from a rock wall,

it would be fresh until it hit

the dirt, but caught in the palms

and sipped, time cools

and refreshes.

.

The other thing about time

a myth that says it heals old

aches and slights, cuts and

emotional bruises, hurts

and betrayals, falls and failures

is untrue. Wounds last a long

long time, sometimes

forever.
