Time

Trying to answer the question

What is time?

It is the space between events

The measurement of that distance

A recurrent rhythmical series

All contrived by man 

Trying to make sense of his universe.

Time is fluid and fascinating. I don't think humans will ever truly understand the concept, no matter how much we attempt. Very nicely written.

[Lilith]

Time is the Medium of Existence!

Excellent concept Gray, very deep:)

[Gray Witch]

One might even say ... very timely given the date

[PP]

A thing or a non-thing can't be defined.
Intangible or tangible can't be specified.
But,the reality of time can't be overlooked.
We are always running after time to get hooked!

Very nice, timely rendition .... Zainul

Dear Gray Witch,

I apologize for not having enough time lately to read more of you great work. But after reading this poem, I have determined that I did have the time but used it to do something else. So now I'm on a guilt trip and I don't have time to go on a trip. Sorry, it's been one of those kind of weeks.

I've never been asked that question before. And I'm glad you wrote this piece to give me a greater perspective on the subject. I love it. It invited me to take the time to consider my time; if I can call it mine. Time is that precious thing which cannot be recovered, stored, paused or stopped. Scarey isn't it?

This is almost a tease piece of writing; because I want to hear more. Never-the- less, would saying more make it better? I believe not. Great job.

I truly appreciate that you shared this fascinating poem with us.

Thank you. I always have as much time as I need...no more, no less...regardless of the task or venture. My sister was giving me a hard time about not producing Chapter 5 of Stealing Christmas and I tried to argue that at this time of year it's hard to find time to write.... She didn't buy it and knew instinctively that it is because it is getting harder to delve into my past = that is holding me up ... not lack of time...LOL I should have waited till after Christmas to write the poem ......

[Ahmad Cox]

Super deep. There is tons of meaning in this one poem.

[Chance]

Yes it is a perception. I like your branching out. Thanks for the read!

[Gray Witch]

My "branching out"? As in attempting to be poetic instead of novelistic, a storyteller or just plain writer? ...LOL and with a magician's tap of his magical wand you are gone ...

[Robin]

how ponderous time can be , I'll pause in the moment

[DrD]

An eternal theme. Is time real or an invented illusion? If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be? Time is what keep everything from happening at once. A challenging and endless theme that you consensed here very well. I really liked this one.

[Gray Witch]

Thank you DrD ....As a woman I would be first too young to have children - then too old ... ...That's my guess ...LOL I imagine for men it would harder to determine ...
