The reflection of time

Submitted by Edward nigma on Wed, 2022-06-08 15:18

Time is only
a continuous
mocking mirror
that forever
reflects
back to when
your feebleminded
feet timidly took those
first noble steps
down that
illustrious isle
towards intimacy .
But then your mind
murmurs back into the
pitiful present realms of reality.
Leaving you
to cower
and cry
still wondering
where the time went by .

and in keeping with my present mood. Time, it flows back and forth; yesterday, tomorrow, and today is static. ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

The message my friend was nothing lasts forever in the future all you have left is the memories.

Hlm life without literature is a life without logic.

only flows forwards till such time as you say leaves behind memories only Time and again we say
TIME AND TIDE

time is precious ! Time waits no body but we wait for it.

I liked how you personified this line:

"Time is only
a continuous
mocking mirror... "

"By virtue of creativity, my literary genre is poetry".
