I Love Time [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

One big NOW is a fallacy; simply one big now does
not suit me, I can see why scientists say time is not
an absolute entity, just the beat marking life's dance
but I need it all the same, without it, without rhythms
and routine, I'm lost at sea - literally

Time means safety to me, with time everything will
cease and earth will blossom again, every fairy will
touch the clouds once more - and every dream will
bloom somewhere, time is only a space-dimension
& I don't care, it matters not to me what scientists
call the things we feel - time is my friend

Time brings healing, self-confidence, love - without
time I was lost in my youth; today I'm in love with it,
as long as it keeps moving on - I love time

Whatever it is…
