‘Hands Of Time’

Minutes , moments, seconds all slipping out of sight 🌹

Hands Of Time

What is it
That we try
To find
Wrapped up
Within
The hands
Of time-

Sometimes
It’s like a galaxy
Where space
Controls the ticks
And tocks-
Each movement
Of time secure

We search to find
That peace of
Mind-
Try and rewind
Those hands
Of time-
Not knowing
With each second
Passed
The slip of life
And moments
Bare-
Can’t keep
The hours from
Going nowhere-

We tear and trail
Remove the veil-
With sails and sand
Lost time prevails
The emptiness
Of space-

We search to find
And put in place
While moments
Can’t replace-

Like youth that’s
Lost -
Such an expensive
Cost
Are the actions
Within time
Lost-

No memory
Or
Material things
Can hold
Or bring back
Precious time-
It’s here to pass
Like a looking glass
Showing secrets
Of the past-

‘Oh how long does it last’,

We magnify
And try and defy
But time is here
To pass-

We are all set
Within this class
To learn the
Lessons true-
That time is
Of the essence
And
A true blessing
Given
To me
And
You.

Every tick we can retrace;
yet, memory cannot replace
time that's irrevocably lost …
at what un-payable cost
we can only guess,
but for now I must confess
that every moment spent in vain,
shall never be relived again.

Something in the way you wrote this piece inspired those words from my pen.
Perhaps, it is the easy flowing moment and movement taking me over, as my mind, emotions, and heart followed the essence of your virtually breathing verses down the page.

Whatever it was I thank you for sharing another of your uniquely, brilliantly rendered pieces! ⁓ Richard

So very kind of you I really appreciate your time and words.🌹

i relate to this one...youth is a while ago now...memories that in ways keep me feeling younger than i am...but time slips away faster as we age...those days that seemed forever when we were kids...tick-tock away at breakneck speed just when we get older, wiser, and more comfortable in our skin.

Yes so true wise words you say- it’s sad that sometimes we learn to late or do we? I believe that people hide behind time in fear of facing fear and doing what their hearts really desire but alas in the end you can miss out on some of lives most beautiful moments, take time each day to stop and smell the roses🌹

It is sad. We allow few to see our real face. I believe no-one had seen my real face in many years. We need to release the veil of pretend smile and face. Release what keep us locked-up. A amazing poem dear Poet. Made me think this morning.
