The Times

Time slows down, speeds up, runs around in circles, 

and I'm here just trying to keep up with the change 

In pace, in you, for life, for death, bound to close corners, 

and the ways in which the wind blows, every way, everyday 

Hear one say things about how great a life is theirs, 

and how they can keep up with the times

A perfect family, a paying job, a new hairdo, some wind chimes, 

and I could care less about the times.

Very true and thoughtful. I liked the entire poem. Truly well written.

Beautiful written, the concept of time is quite perplexing but you wrote of it wonderfully. Great job! Keep up the great work.
