Like grains of sand through my hands;
I cannot catch it, nor can I contain it---
All I can do is watch it fall away.

Glimpses of life already lived,
Of days spent in perpetual motion,
Of hours spent thinking of you,
Of time irretrievable from Death itself----
For he collects youth, beauty, and wild ill gotten dreams---
Like love-lost-then reclaimed.

Time.
It moves swiftly.
Like a leaf on the wind, it is careless;
Almost in arms length, but never caught---
Always lost.

How do we equate Time?
Even as I grow old
I cannot find its rhyme or reason.

She moves swiftly enough,
Like sand through our hands---
Yet, we cannot keep pace with her dancing;
For her movements are ever changing----
All we can do is appreciate the music,
Then watch it (and ourselves) fall away. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 21 [informant] => JakerBaker88 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
