ODE TO TIME

Nightly questions swaying me from my clay

A universe so vast that one must dismay,

Lightening struck and a being was made

A being to be and become what it may,

A monstrous tide running for everything to sway

A fascinating facade that sinks the day away,

For you you man learnt to preach and say

To you, man is bound to pledge and pray,

Mortal is man yet eternal is thee

In you one sees what his destiny be,

From you he flees and seldom kneels

For if he forgets, you strip him off gentle breeze,

You hold his celestial fate of immortal keys

If he obliges, you grant him your highest degrees

Immortality in gentle ease, or damnation he sees.

Your poem again reflects on the existential questions that arise from human existence and the search for meaning within a vast universe. Reminds me that even when life here ends - everything is still quite infinite. This universe really is interesting and looking back and to now, things got so much worst, wishing this place evolves better and not the way it is.

Powerful poem, thanks for sharing.

Dear Amy,

thank you for the review, and I couldn't stress how inspirational your intepretation is. When writing, I tend to zone out of the process and just let the pen move, and i feel a sense of joy when they reach another soul, no matter the geography.
I am glad that this modest poem has moved you!

A fascinating facade that sinks the day away,
For you you man learnt to preach and say
To you, man is bound to pledge and pray,

This is a powerful write here, and I really love your imagery,
This part this stood out to me. Truthful....
