A Time For Us Poem by Meggie Gultiano

A Time For Us

Rating: 5.0


Time eternal, time translucent of light
Time in our hands
Who would believe
That we were once borne in a lifetime
All by itself and the many generations
That came after..
Time eternal as they say

Yes..there is always a time for us
But memories however vague
Still color our world of make believe
Reminiscent of an era not so long ago
Taken by light as another dimension
The wherefores, and henceforth
Man so solid in light

A time for us..time as you guessed
It is in our hands
Whether you open it
To welcome opportunities
Or when you close it to finalize matters
To stand and corrected
And be at peace with God.

Yes..there is always a time for us But memories however vague Still color our world of make believe Reminiscent of an era not so long ago Taken by light as another dimension The wherefores, and henceforth Man so solid in light ------- Like the classic music box song a time for us...true and well said my friend...couldnt say more...huhuhu I have to accept there is a time for us all...10+++

The hurriedness and possessiveness of time is well illuminated in this poem yielding some useful thoughts. Time is priceless and one cannot own it rather use it with splendor. Life is all about timing and every wise moment elapsed can bring about bright changes in one's life with unattainable becomes attain- -able and unbelievable becomes believeable. Another facet of the poem explains the misconception of time that it changes things but you have conceptualized it otherwise and conveyed this inspirational message that it is not time though it is precious that changes the fate, it is our own wisdom and truthfulness that bring about the changes.....

A timeless poem written with insight and intelligence. It's only as you age that you appreciate the preciousness of each minute. When we were young, life seemed eternal. These days, each new day must be accepted is a gift from God. Your final stanza is particularly eloquent. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
