ancestors knocking at the door –
will there be another spring?

End-to-end …….. by Ken/rivrvlogr

end to end

lifetime just a moment
holding moments
years like seconds
a sweeping arc nearly
come full circle
now a crawl
midnight ever closer

Another poem in my recent obsession with aging, this is my response to

The Moment Time Slipped

The moment Time slipped ….. by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

That was me
the 9-year-old girl
sitting on the 3 o’clock bus
staring at the woman
with the scarf around her neck
standing across the street
in front of an oddly shaped building
I’d never noticed before, and
having a profound feeling
of déjà vu.

That was me
the scarf-wearing woman
standing on the sidewalk
in front of the odd shaped building
waiting for the 3 o’clock bus
to move, so that I might cross
suddenly overcome by a sense
of premonition as my eyes
locked with a girl on the bus
who looked uncannily
like a younger version
of me.

Deeper ….by s.s.

s.s.'s avatarMindfills

Deeper and deeper into Time
where when warps and does a cartwheel
for free romantic hearts to steal
moments for each other to rhyme
floating off to a space sublime
Stars burst in synchronicity
laughing with clocks and gravity
oneness of the universe smiles
when souls meld, we stop a while
we wonder…in the infinity

A Minute Poem …..by Lady Lee

ladyleemanila's avatarLadyleemanila

THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “Home” by William Stafford: father, star, light, tragedy, faces, front, door, came, near, locks, own, believe

What are the components of time?

High and down time

Every second

Time to reckon

How far or near tragedy comes

Own front door drums

Believe or not

We face or fraught

Star light star bright in sky

No need to cry

Father is here

He’s such a dear*

PROMPT #172

The theme is

Components of Time

Your take can be poetic or sci-fi or fiction or a piece of art , whatever catches your fancy.

⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

One second passes faster than I can blink

Yet it can linger an eternity when I’m trapped in time

Days compressed into minutes and weeks into days

All coalescing into one long unbroken stretch of time

Time is what makes all the difference in everything

It is the great equalizer in all things worldly

Whatever we feel is ours to boast of or treasure

Slowly decays into nothingness with the passage of time

Youth or beauty, charm or talent all eroded

Power or even wealth losses it’s importance in

The ruthless grind of…
