A Gathering Poem by Heather Burns

Quite a magical writing! ...........

Yes it does run on doesn't it? We are always greedy for more life, and why shouldn't we be? Your poem reminded me of so many things.. ;)

How great it is to be taken back to precious memories. Time certainly does pass too quickly.

nostalgic and commemorating to childhood, it describes the simple pleasures of days bygone.

Time does pass quickly but only in retrospect as on the way through it goes slow, like a snail sometimes. These days it does me good to just sit quietly and let a minute pass and remember how long a minute really is as life rushes by. Time is a strange conception, man made to work out when to get up, when to travel, when to work......I'm putting it in room 101: o)))))) Ruth who hopes time won't notice her age ;)

Bursting with the beauty and brevity of life!

Well done poet.wonderfully created a beautiful poem.

oh how time does pass. love this much

Nostalgic. And appropo imagery: the sand, the ephemeral drifting clouds bringing back glimpses of the past. And the fleeting element of time. Thanks.
