time

is it any surprise
we spend our lives
running in endless circles
when our very existence
is measured by hands
going around
and around
and around
never pausing
never slowing
as we waste ourselves
trying to catch up

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I like the thought. We are mice in a cage. Running in circles till we get tire and die. Nice description of time. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really enjoyed this poem. I think you beautifully captured the concept that time slows for no one and many times we are stuck in this repetitive cycle of existence. The more I reread it, the more I love it.

Thanks for sharing.
