With such a discussion, to think there\'s such an unavoidable reality coming upon us as \"...there shall be time no longer--\"(Rev 10:6b). I like your none too subtle point that it\'s not a trivial matter. Beautifully rendered with an excellently haunting poignancy and great imagery. Thank you for sharing.

Good one Tristan! Down to the shapely hourglass ⌛️ curves; and Yes I’ve pondered upon this many a moment. And speaking of mythology; the Greek kairos and kronos are excellent clues to how we perceive time.

I was ranting, sort of, in a recent poem, of people who say \'This moment in time\' or other naff expressions. I wouldn\'t mind, but they say them about 10 million times a day! lol.
And - Ohh, they say \'Time goes fast when you\'re enjoying yourself\' Does it?!

The paradox of time to me is that the more miserable one is the slower it goes, and the more joy one finds the faster it runs. I have spent many hours thinking about what time really is a fifth dimension bent by gravity Einstein’s view simply an issue of movement in space, I have no idea, but I know that it has gone too fast for me. A wonderful poem, brilliant !!!

Thoughts on your piece, Tristan:
1. Stunning ingenuity involved
2. Beautiful to look at and read.
3. Are you aware there are only 24 hours available each day?

Great to see your name on the roll call so regularly.

isn\'t it hard to be enough when they expect so much? must you be rich, hard-working, family-loving, vacation-seeking, world-traveling, business-creating, and already-on-retirement to be enough? the paradox is evident: you must love working for your family but must love family over work, value relationships more yet sacrifice relationships for success.

beautiful lights, jolly old saint nick, and gifts galore--starving kids, houseless humans, all to ignore. christians who don\'t act like Christ; the name only to show others they are a \'good person\'

Did AI create this scene? I can only imagine the humorous prompt. Echoes remain of what once was... great poem

Labeled
NinjaGirl said:

A label is trying to sum up an entire person in one word. making them smaller, less than what they are. if all one ever is is \"weak\" they won\'t know if they can ever be strong in anything.

I like the form of this poem, but even more I liked some of the internal rhyme and the meaning behind it. Well thought out and thought provoking it has dropped its spores.

👍👍
An awesomazing
heroic crown of Sonnets indeed!!
Love this stanza in XV.
So many love to stroll down
Christmas lanes,
While we forget those things
that makes us weak.
While children starve and no
One ever gains,
something to cover up---Shhh!
--- date not speak..
Powerful penning my friend!! 🙏👋
Best regards peace ✌️. Thad

This is the most all inclusive picture of Christmas as I\'ve ever tripped over, Tristain. Christmas is usually one of those topics I avoid like the plague; in this instance I\'m very glad I didn\'t - although I\'ve now got to go lay down and recover...👍😊

Christmas was to celebrate peace, closeness to others, charity and instead has become the opposite consumerism, who can get the most, keeping up with the Jones, greed, gluttony, selfishness, partying, forgetting the poor, the lonely and sad. Hypocrisy at its best.

Say it like it bloomin is why don\'tcha .. not everyone is gonna like it but I applaud you for saying it regardless .. How you managed to pull this off is close to a miracle I know for sure I couldn\'t have done it .. but then, I\'ve never even writ a single sonnet .. The old Bard himself would be proud of ya .. I\'m just glad I was born when I was, when things were a bit different back then .. I think you deserve the very distinguished dubble 👍👍

Kudos a thousand time, Christmas should be about having those you love around you, hot food and some music, its commercially ruined by all the got to haves, I got a barbie when I was 13 now the 13 year olds get
( I phones.) Sad world in this case. 🌹

One of the biggest lessons I\'ve learned in life is that you can\'t control what or how others think or feel about you. The last line of your poem says it all. We just need to like ourselves 🖤

A bunch of oddities and contradictory traditions, that seems to be part and parcel of Christmas charm.

Our guinea pigs are not having a special day, that\'s for sure, being mistaken for hamsters, etc!
Like it or not, an American boss always bought cake in to work on July 4th - whether we Britons agreed with Independence Day or not. lol.

So very well said Tristan. So many who won’t be having a special day today while others get excessive. I read your notes too. The other side of the coin. We are all blessed in this place by your presence and I thank you for your friendship. That meant a lot.
