Moonflower Blossoms
Enigma ….by Kat

There was a patient in cardiology who reminded me greatly of my late uncle. Same pot belly, a scarily identical sense of humour, and an insatiable inquisitiveness that would drive any other man insane. Two days before he was to be discharged, he told me a story. Now I don’t know about you but the average patient doesn’t go chit-chatting nonsense to the doctor, let alone engage them in deeply animated tellings and retellings of the fictional kind. But entertaining this old man was the least I could do. So I listened with an open heart. This simple act, as it turns out, would later save me in so many ways.
When the hour nears sun's demise
And the air sings of moonflowers
One feels as if death and ice
Has come with ocean showers.
I returned the next morning to my solitary abode- a…

Stuck in time
Stuck in time ….by Ramya Tantry
Time races on for all, where moments slip through fingers like sand,
Yet, I find myself stuck, as if time has halted.
No forward progress, no backward retreat,
Caught in limbo, I can see seasons change.
But my own life remains untouched,
Will I ever break free of this hold,
And embrace the flowing current of time…
The truth is out there.
The truth is out there ….by Melissa Lemay
All around her, people flashed off and on like slides on overhead projectors, each time reappearing in a different, fixed position. The grocery store’s aisles weren’t any more or less crowded than a typical day; people spattered the produce section. They had been perusing the stockpiles of Red Delicious apples, Anjou pears, Haas avocados, checking for bruises, when the lights came down.
She had never seen anything like this. A blinding light covered everything as far as she could see, or rather, not see. Time stopped. People began blinking in and out of existence, in the nature of turn signals, each one going at its own rate, but all blinking. She didn’t understand why she was an exception.
She had crouched down next to a giant cardboard cutout of Donald Trump holding a can of mixed nuts in each hand—a new ad campaign for Emerald. She had noticed his hair…

Wile E. Coyote Never Had a Chance
Wile E.Coyote never had a chance ….by Jim Adams
Reena had two picture prompts today and since I have some time left, I decided to take on the picture that looked like a silhouette of a runner to me, but I am really not sure what it is and perhaps it is a dancer. Anyways, as I drove to the grocery store, I was listening to that Holland–Dozier–Holland song ‘(I’m a) Road Runner’, which was first released by Junior Walker & the Allstars in 1966. The cover that I herd was on a CD titled Garcia Live Volume Five, anyway it made me think of this picture and it is a cool song. I read that Walker was a road warrior, constantly touring and performing, and Motown Records had a hard time getting him into the studio to record this, because he was always out on the road.
The road runner is not a bird in this song…

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #282- The Weight of Time
The Weight of Time ….by Susan St.Pierre
It is entirely your choice to use either one or both of the images as prompts.
I chose the image below.
Prudence became momentarily frantic while searching for her cellphone. She needed to know the time!
How long had she been ambling along the serene, wooded path?
What time IS it?!
“Okay Prudy, breathe…just breathe.”
Moments ago, she’d watched chipmunks scurrying in and out of a tree trunk. But for “How long?” She still grasped a little of a blissful, weightless, freedom. She hadn’t known the time and, for once, didn’t care. But now, Prudence needed to know!
She’d been a slave to time since… well, forever. Forever was indisputably a long time and “NOW” couldn’t work without the anchor of a clock. Everything needed a time stamp- a before and after. It was the lifeline and essential compass that sustained her.
A distant voice came out of nowhere…

#time… again#
Time again ..
By Destiny
Written for : Reena’s Xploration Challenge #282
deemed the wisest
of all creations
no doubt it’s us
we wonderful humans 😉
racing ahead of time
looking back not once
to savor the moments
left behind 🙄
chasing behind time
always peeking back
missing the moments
set up ahead 😒
always wondering
will I make it
forever asking
how much time left ⏳
eventually we must stop 😔
racing ceases
chasing halts
with pieces of the past
and fragments of the future
we stand in the present
forced to face time ⌚
to look and really see
that we actually stand
with hands empty 🤲
we can never go back
I’ve asked, you see 😉
we can not go forward
I’ve tried, really 🤭
placed in this moment
I’ve come to see
all that’s present
is now only 🤍

Time Is Going Out of Sync
Time is going out of sync
A lot to learn from Jim Adams
On Wednesday, June 29, 2022, Earth rotated once around its axis in 1.59 milliseconds less than 24 hours, and this was faster than scientists had ever previously recorded since records began in the 1960s. July 26 neared the newly-set record, at 1.50 milliseconds shorter than usual. The previous record for the shortest rotation was July 19, 2020, when the Earth’s rotation took 1.4602 milliseconds less than 24 hours. Ever since its formation around 4.5 billion years ago, our Earth had been gradual slowing down its rotation, and this has resulted in adding about 2.3 milliseconds to the length of each day every 100 years. The Earth’s rotational speed fluctuates constantly for multiple reasons, the moon and Earth’s gravitational pull on each other, the moon’s effect on the tides on Earth, and changes in the weather and climate on Earth. Many experts believe that the earth is spinning faster due to…

When you try to overtake time
When you try to overtake time .,…by Sadje
This week Reena has given us these 2 images to work with;
Setting the alarm every day
I try to overtake the morning hassle
Perhaps getting up earlier would help
Five minutes early, every morning— I try
Sometimes it happens, other days — not
A constant struggle to fit 25 hours natural rhythm
Into the 24 hours given to us for each day
Keeps us on our proverbial toes, always struggling
In trying to overtake this tick-tock, I run ragged
Maybe one day I will win this race against time
➰➰➰
