Time... Poem by Shaun Cronick

Time...

Rating: 5.0


Time...
Time just slips through my fingers.
It is never, never enough.
It is fleetingly my friend,
Then my constant ardent adversary.
Time waits for no man,
Or poetess or poet.
It's hard to make time,
When you're trying to make do.

well done, this amazing poem reminding me with A Dream Within a Dream by EDGAR ALLAN POE: I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand — How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep — while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?

Absoultely Shaun. When I worked as a tutor in my local college, management was forever telling us to be creative with our time which is basically a euphemism to get as much done as possible without taking time to reflect on what one is doing. Thankfully, now I have more time to prepare properly and if pupil/student happiness and results are anything to go by I'm glad I chose my current path. Nevertheless, it is amazing how time creeps up on us...it will soon be Christmas!

the time is a huge secret, many philosophers tried to understanding it, but the mystery still there and it is passing so quick nowadays, 10+ and onto my fav list
