Time All Arush Poem by Fay Slimm

Time All Arush

Rating: 5.0


Tumbling one upon another
In passing flight the moments speed.
Waiting not for us to wonder,
Catch the sense or see the need
Of trapping, breathless, one small second,
Standing back, then filled with awe,
Listening in to Life that, silent,
Tells of peace not heard before.


Giving time to Time we stagger
Stunned by sheer simplicity.
Nations milling round their issues,
Having eyes yet cannot see.
Stealing from the rushing moments
The beauty of the Here and Now
Brings insight not begot by yearning
After past nor future hour.


Giving to the moment glory
Which deserved so rare receives.
Brings enrichment beyond measure
Test, and see what it bequeathes.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Great use of language. I like the occasional use of rhyme. It seems to adeptly mix order and freedom. I have a parallel but different perception of time; I like to imagine that every time is now and and every place is here. The present is therefore golden and not at all desperate.
