What is more amazing than your unchanging movement pace?
That has been the same from time immemorialleaving no trace
Tic tac you move towards an unknown place
Who dares to compete with you in a race?
Who wonders about the language you speak as youmove?
Or has the slightest glimpse of plans you weave?
You drift away leaving no foot prints for us to prove
So, how then can we now take a heave?
River of time, are you a friend or a foe?
For moments with you comes with pleasure as well as woe
You never look back, all you do is go
Irrespective of the condition, you are always on your toes
River of time, will you be my friend?
And whisper to me when am close to my end?
Revealing to me every malicious fiend?
That lurks at every hidden bend?
Through you I seek the gracious Lord’s face
For indeed you are a friend that maintains her pace
Hold my hand as I compete in this worldly race
And when am gone, make heaven my resting place.
Thumbs Up! Good work.
Hehe, well written, but i doubt that Time has power to allot eternal accomodation, Choice, Decision and God are those in charge of that department. Thanks for sharing
well done.
@ JamesMelbin and KC, thanks, I feel you guys, @ Sunshine, I appreciate your comment, truly, God alone has the power to do and undo, that was why I stated in the first line of the last stanza that “Through you I seek the gracious Lord’s face”.
Yes, time, an unfriendly friend. Nice poem Alfa2. What happened to Alfa1…
Thanks Ablyguy, Alfa1 is doing great, but how did you know there’s an Alfa1? Perhaps I guess you know her? Please reply.
This reminds me of Sir Walter Reigh’s ‘Time’..
Alfa Bravo!
@alfa2 Deceptively simple. A work of art that mirrors the times.
Thanks YahayaMadu, I appreciate the comment.
fantastic
Time is neither friend nor for. It is just that …. Time.
