oh time!

oh time!

A Poem by grace
"

do you all feel time is like a flow of running water?

"
oh time, won't you stop?
rest have been stuck at the same place but look at where you've got
closed clocks and doors with lost keys
is this what I am living for?

oh time, won't you stop?
is it too much to ask for?
a sec where I don't have to worry about what's left behind and what's coming now
is this what life's all about?

oh time, won't you stop?
wait for me till I know what you're all about
and could you hold me too so I could know how to live in you
is there any other way I could learn how to be true?

oh time, please don't let me stop!
I think I need to go everywhere you want me to
but let's just stay without wasting the best you too
is there any way I could look up and be like you?

Hi Grace, how I sometimes wish time could stop, or at least slow down a little. In the Autumn of my years, time seems to be going by so fast. I love the content of your write. Your gentle words of longing touch the heart so softly. One can feel the ripples of time, those never-ending ripples. What a wonderful write. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always....Mike.

You are welcome dear Grace.
I like how you begin each stanza with the words, "Oh time, won't you stop", with variations as you go on. I can relate. When my youngest brother died unexpectedly in his sleep, I wrote a poem about time and how I didn't want it to go forward, leaving my brother behind. I'll post it some time. In my senior years, after losing a husband, I've found wonderful romantic love. I want time to slow down so we can enjoy what time we have.
