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?
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.
