I visited this poem second time for its philosophical ground and nice theme. Really it is a beautiful Senryu.

Very profound, Mark. The pain is telling us to slow down before it's too late.

Thank you, Richard. At times, pain is the last signal that arrives when a trauma hits. But when it does arrive, it does tell us to stop or slow down.

Very true. For me this brings to mind my grandmother whose name was also Charlotte. I always wish I could have spent more time with her. You just never know when the hourglass is low on sand.

Yes...Thank you, Nika....that was a message I was hoping to convey. It sounds like your grandmother was an extraordinary person.

Because clock and heart is never meant to be nice to each other for long...and that is because what life is about feel, remain, learned, and all get repeated again as time keep flowing....Wonderful thoughts in minimal words!

Thank you, Soul. That is such a true observation....the heart and the clock do seem to (almost) always run in opposite directions.
