Lessons of Time

Lessons of Time

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

Heed them

"
Time drifts through the atmosphere
Each second calling out:

Hours of the past whisper,
"Learn from us."

Eons of the future exclaim,
"It's possible!"

While the present moment sweetly sings,
"Embrace me..."

Very wise to learn from the past. Most of us will repeat. Lessons of time need to be paid attention to. I like the logic and wisdom in the words. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Thank you, sincerely. It is inevitable, I guess, that some past mistakes are repeated, but we press.. read more
i wish we embraced moments more than we do...and those who don't will regret it in future, because there will be no memories.

i am so lucky to have all of my memories of the 50's--and my time spent in Vermont as a kid...the pictures are so clear in my mind, i need no slides to look at to remember.

really nice work.

Thank you, Jacob!
Lovely and apropos , my friend. Beginnings and ends - I think much of humanity has forgotten how to breathe.

Well written ... much enjoyed.

that is quite true, and it's one of the most tragic things,to be honest.
