Words in Time

Words in Time

Although both fine

And magical

His words could not

Guarantee to keep

Her young

But rather one day

Might just serve to

Remind her of a time 

When she once was

Oh yes indeed

Although both fine

and magical

His words failed 

Magnificently to convince 

Her that time is not 

The friend of anyone.....

The older we get, the more the reality sinks in. The hour glass indeed does seem to run faster. Some of us fight it, some of us are oblivious, but one thing for sure, time is apathetic to our machinations within her sphere

[Neville]

I do so much appreciate your visits my friend... Neville

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh damn when did I become such a grownup? The pouty rude me seemed so much fun, lol

[Neville]

I dunno, I'm only counting down.. you were fun tho back in the day... N

we will all reach the endpoint and it is not the issue of how well you have lived or how rich you become but rather it is what had you understood about life and what have you done with it

[Neville]

Thank you dear sette for checking in and checking out these words.... Neville

I enjoyed the poem and I agree with the logic.
"But rather one day
Might just serve to
Remind her of a time
When she once was"
The above real life and real thoughts we shall know. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

First let me assure you how glad we all are to have you back here writing & posting fresh material again! Next let me send my healing vibes to clear up any crusty feelings you may still have lingering! And last but not least, I’ll have to agree with your poetic message that most people do not find TIME to be a friend. No lover or father or brother could convince anyone to make friends with TIME (altho I am friends with TIME myself - speaking of which, I'll be turning 62 in one week from today! yippee!) I always admire the way you write from a protective fatherly point of view (((NUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Hey Margie, I fly back tomorrow evening but wont get home until the following day.... I still limp when I find myself putting my foot down but otherwise am fine.... Many thank you's for considering this little scribble, I will raise my glass to ya on the big day...... Neville x

why I'm getting this feeling that this is about the Holy Books? even if not, there is something here that attracts me into a deep level, of love and innocence lost, of faith and betrayal, of forever love that can't be gained, of waiting and waiting... but he will not come around.

[Neville]

You are as always, far too generous and kind..an interesting interpretation for sure and in part, not a million miles off the mark........ Neville x

Hello Neville. Words can do alot to reassure, but time is not reassuring. And as we age we are reminded each time we glance into a mirror of the wear and tear that comes with the years. No amount of reassurance from a loved one will make the slightest difference. Find me a woman who says otherwise and I will .... now what will I do? I will have to think about that.

Chris

[Neville]

I have to agree with you entirely Chris, not because I want to, but because, I must, there simply is no real alternative... and yet, you wear those years well my friend and true....Neville x

[Chris Shaw]

Now there's a nice bit of flattery. But that's a little pic. Get a magnifying glass out and you will see what the years do x

[Neville]

Already checked and my comment remains unreservedly unchanged..... N

[Chris Shaw]

Wot !!!!!

[Neville]

...........told ya x

[Stella Armour]

was this father to daughter ?... maybe ,but then time takes its toll on all of us eventually.

[Neville]

Thank you so much for the visit Stella, am gonna leave you guessing, at least for now I am......... Neville

[Onlyme]

So true, time can take away a loved one. Time can also make you look forward to a great event like a wedding or a birth. Time can make you experience so many emotions. Not always good one. Sadly.

[Neville]

You are of course, absolutely right, we can not trick or cheat it, so grab the moment is my motto.... Thanks for the visit my friend.....Neville
