Poem -
Time
Time travels a single track
On a journey that never ends.
It answers only to itself;
It has no enemies, no friends.
When we are young and immortal
We wish it by all too quick
And only start to grieve its passing
The older and wiser we get.
Time travels ever onward
Gathering prisoners in its wake,
Each a ghost from years that have passed
Reflecting on histories made.
We all live in its shadow,
Having no choice in its rules and
Though we try hard to defy it,
Time treads rough shod over us all.

So very very true BM, I'm delving a lot back in time recently, maybe because we have 'time' for once to do so. Thought provoking write my friend...lovely ?
Thank you Marion ?. Glad you like it. Time intrigues me and yet saddens me at times too. Thank you again for reading and for your own thought provoking comment. Nostalgia, eh! x
Being Me you have just described how I feel most of the time
Great poem
Nigel
Thank you Nigel. I feel like this too. Time goes running on through and I wonder if it actually exists or is it just a measurement humans invented... I mean, it could just be cycles. Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn and then it begins again, another cycle. And another cycle... All brand new. But we have gone on to measure those cycles... Past, present and future.... Hmmm... I wonder. Thank you again for reading and for leaving a comment and also for the pin x
Time is just the cycles, ask any Wiccan.
Blessed be
Nigel
Blessed be, my friend x
A wonderfully written piece! Deeply provocative and meaningful! We attempt to grasp its illusive strands all the while it holds us beneath its fleeting promise as the soul seeks its purpose within.
Well you have summed it up perfectly here, Ian! Our relationship with time... What a perfect comment. So true, my friend, so true. Thank you for reading and leaving such an awesome comment it is much appreciated x
sorry i miss this poem
your right when were young
we wish for that time to be older
then time pass and your older
and look back wish i never said
that but we all say that
Oh the times I have done and said stupid things! And while there are some that I will never regret there are others that I truly do, oh hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Thank you for reading Greg and for leaving your thoughts and for pinning it, I am truly appreciative of your support x
Tina I always look back in life and saying why didn’t I go over there why didn’t I go look for that job why did I say that why do they do that I’m 62 years old now and I did what I did

One continue if we find that one out of the box blend trued.

Hi Being Fantastic,
I'm so glad I saw that you wrote! I wish there was something on this site that showed that the people you follow posted something.
You are a lovely writer. You're intelligent, and I like that. I like poems about the things that harry us in life, and you wrote that beautifully. I don't believe for a minute that time has touched you, but I loved the poem.
So good to see you my friend. Please let me know when you write again.
Thanks,
HUgs,
Matthew.
Awww... thank you Matthew ? So glad you like this. Thank you for reading and for writing such a lovely comment. Time touches us all my friend (unless we are lost and live in Neverland). Hugs x
Very good , depth and melody well done.
Thank you Peter ? x
Wow a true awesome poem on the grim callous impersonal nature of time , the unrelenting unstoppable time indeed. I like how you describe it creatively. Kudos!!!

I live the past and this is the best I’ve read yet ???
Hi Deb, thankyou so much for reading and leaving your thoughts. Glad you like it x
It felt like I was looking at time from your perspective. I wrote a piece on time the very day too....... While reading this, I could see the pieces and glimpses of my thoughts too. Great read❤️
Thank you for reading and leaving a worthy comment. I have been over to your page and read the poem that you wrote on time x
tina
I always enjoy the time that it takes in reading your poems. Time well spent
hugs
greg
Awww. Thank you, Greg. I enjoy reading your poetry too. You call a spade a spade... I like that. Hugs back x
I've spent so much time pondering on time, I love the fact that it doesn't exist, real time, simply designed by humans to create structure to life yet you speak here of something more than time, you speak of natural decay.
The sun rises without time, it knows no time, what is time? it would ask if conversing with our complex minds.
Much like the empty beer can, left out to the elements, we would state that "over time, it becomes dust", but how can something that doesn't exist, harm and destroy an object.
It can't,
TIME
its a funny thing, a word, just another word to help us through this crazy existence.
Great poetry X.
You are right... Time is just a measurement we humans created. And yet it is so ingrained in us it is as though time does actually exist and we live and die alongside the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Thanks for reading and leaving such an interesting comment x
TIME....TO TAKE STOCK, if, you, are going to take any " thing " ? :) :)
WRITE, and delight. More, please NOT tease !!! If you have, IT, use it to make the best, of IT. That makes sense, really. DO YOU THINK ? :) :)
I think we all need time to "take stock"! We do need time to think about where we are at, and where we are headed, and the best way we are going to get there. Wise words from you, Richard.
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Am having a few problems at the moment. But thank you for reading and leaving your worthy thoughts x
Profound , Concise and great write , well done :)
Thank you, Chris! That is kind of you to say and I appreciate the comment. Thank you so much for reading x
This is a brilliant poem Tina!! Time is something I have touched upon many times in other writes. It fascinates me too....so do others areas like fate...faith...universe....linking time all back to science and a constant line we live through.
You have captured time so eloquently in this piece that we can all understand and relate to as an every day phenomena!! So glad I went through your poems!! Sssooo pinned!! Px ??
Thank you so much Pratibha! Time is intriguing isn't it? And I agree with you on faith, fate and the universe too. There is so much around us that we see and think we know... But if we delve a little deeper we find so many more possibilities. Thank you so much for reading and lending your support I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it x
Flows like water through a bamboo forest... ?
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to read and comment, Dvon. I do truly appreciate it. Glad you think it flowed x
An exceptional write. There can't be a single person on the planet that cannot relate to this piece.

Awww...you are so kind, Syd. Thank you so much. I must be feeling my age...lol x
I'm in my late 30s but feel ready to retire! Lol.
- Syd
Hahaha lol...you are still young!! I have just become a grandma for the first time (well, 2 months ago)...I feel bloody ancient ???x
I have a friend who is a year older than me. He has been a step grandad for over 7 years if that's any consolation ???x
Haha...that is good to know! Thank you x
Amazing write on the illusion that we call time. I wrote a poem called time myself some years ago which is why I was drawn to read this.
I'm glad I did it's a very enjoyable read.
Well done 👏👏 ⌚
Awww thank you 😊 That's very kind of you to say. You should post your one about time up on here. I'd love to see it. x
Most welcome and thank you, maybe I will in future, when I get more time to type it out x
Xx
This kind of background, the story behind this poem. It's like my cup of tea, even if it's written by you differently.
But time does change alot, it's something we can never get back, whatever we do in life we shall always pray to the one who made us to give back the time we lack to do the right things in life... without becoming corrupt or a shadow, noticed and remembered by our loved ones...because to have that idea warms not only our heart inside, but also gives the time a precious filling.
Sincere Roy
What a fabulous comment Roy! I am honoured to have such a comment. I sometimes think that time has it's own agenda. Thank you so much for reading and for leaving your well constructed thoughts...I truly appreciate it. And I am glad you like it x
A poem we all can relate to the older and hopefully wiser we become.
Loved your lines about young and immortal and wishing it by all too quick, superb and so true.
Time forever marches on but leaves many superb and enjoyable poems behind in its wake.
Your well written poem is one of them.
Thanks for sharing Tina and simply enjoy poetry and life.
😊😊😊 Thank you, Shaun, I wish that time would drag its feet. It goes by too quickly and the older we get, the quicker it goes...sadly. Thank you again for reading and commenting x
