Poetry
I allowed Time to slip away from me
I wanted to see how far it would go without me
How long it would take to come back to me.
I watched Time fade away into the horizon
What seemed so close at heart
Now was farthest out of reach.
I was left standing alone
The stormy seas within my eyes.
Time betrays, it humiliates us.
It dictates and imposes its terms
It tears at the core of our heart.
It offers no explanations nor gives us a hearing
A host of questions left unanswered.
Time splits open a chasm wide and deep
Just when the glorious moment was within reach.
To cross this barrier is an impossibility
To build a bridge over it too late in the day.
It coerces us to accept the harsh reality
Before we can even assimilate the stricken moment.
Time is momentous, surreal at times
Unpredictable and incomprehensible.
One moment of rapture, the next filled with pain.
In life we either win or lose
There is no compromise at all.
Time impels us to stand at the crossroads
A significant fork to evaluate the meaning of it all.
The paths that divulge can alter life in a moment.
The road once trod upon somehow cannot be retraced.
Time plays havoc with our sentiments
The storm comes and goes with strong intent
The blanket of cloud thick and dense.
The dark shadows surge with great impact
Inundating hearts leaving behind a heart wreck.
To battle the turbulent storm is beyond our strength
It challenges our faith and trust.
We turn to the heavens for hope
To let divine decree have the last word.
The sun may set every evening
But it rises again in the morn.
If destiny wills, it might someday return Time back to us
On a more amicable note.
