Considering Time

Disguised by a cockeyed smirk
Mirth had turned to apathy
Madame muse had left her nest
Heart and soul were sleeping
Mind vacationed for a time...
Considering times, this was best

Slowly arising to meet your words
I've awakened to find myself BEING
Incredulous, I greet the sunrise
Inspired at every given moment
Its great to share this time...
Considering time, it's a lie

Mind is, miraculously, engaged
Senses are elevated, aware
Soul doesn't echo like a cave
You've moved things around
Rearranged the face of time...
Considering time, I'll be brave

Finally aware of all that is
Eager, I wish to explore
You've changed my world
By being the same
This time...
Consider time...
I need more

I was thrown off at first by there being no periods at the ends of the lines... Then I reread it, and I think I get it. I'm not quite sure. Mechanically, I like the way it flows. It is what I can imagine actually knowing how to swim to be. I feel as if you have captured some of what I feel... I'm not sure exactly what I'm saying, but I'm sure you understand. Another winner.

The concept of time can change by what is going on in our world... love is the biggest bender of time.... when in it time seems to have to effect and seems to stand still... great piece.

Interestingly written...there is a variety of thouhgts within your poem yet once it is read a few times one can see the consideration of a need to explore the changes one has encountered and the repetition of the same...

nice...

Slowly arising to meet your words
Rearranged the face of time...

I find these two lines of your poem a verse in its self.


This was wonderfuly written... Thank You for sharing.

I like the usage of time as the usual "measuring stick," yet only relatively. Actually, very deep. There's a lot more than meets the eye. Love it!
