Solace of Time.

Goldfinch60



That quantum of time that surrounds us

Passes in so many variable ways

That it can be so very mystical.

When things are going well

It rushes by barely allowing us enough of it.

When things are going badly

It is so slow that unpleasant thoughts come to us,

But sometimes,

Sometimes comes that period

Where we are in a time when all is well

And our dreams are with us,

Life is so perfect and wonderful.

We have reached that so rare period,

Where we have entered that solace of time.

    Time, time, to sing for ever. Arrrgghhh, they reply! lol.
    You enjoying yourself these days? Time going quickly while enjoying yourself, as they say?!
    Did time pass quickly in 1066?

      Time Is so variable in our lives.

      GOOD MONDAY - UNCLE ANDY ! Your Music *Cool Jazz* and your elegant ODE about being in sync withTIME have set an excellent mood for a Warm & Sunny NEW DAY - Amen. Now that we are settled to out New Home - and with SMOKEY we can feel the vibes of TIME and *Of the Street where we LIVE*. We agree as your Poem suggests - there is a *Rhythm of Life* in every situation & circumstance - which if we find it and harmonise is a great blessing. Singing in a CHOIR (as you so often mention) or playing in a BAND teaches us a lot about lifes harmonies ! We need to be in Tune - in Key in Chord & in Rhythm to be in perfect HARMONY. Brian & I love Welsh Male Voice Acapello Choral singing for all those reasons. Our POEM today is about UNCERTAINTY - but you have lifted us to a Higher Plane - CARPE DIEM !

      Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
      Love ANGELA & BRIAN πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

      Yes time can be friend or foe dear Andy - - all we can do is make the best of what we have left........... a lovely read.

        Excellent write Andy. I prefer to think of time as a friend. ; )

        While a boy, time was deceptive
        Some days ran too slow
        Then a few years sneak by
        Far too fast they’d go

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you AP, yes I believe time is a friend, I have had so much of it in my long life.

            Time my friend, has rewarded you for being a good man.

            Does anybody really know what time it is if we throw away our clocks and think in terms of our life's span. For time has a kindness and a cruelty and we are blind to it.

            • Goldfinch60

              If we lived in time to our body's clock life would have a very different way of progressing, I tend to use the body clock in much of what I do since retirement.
              Yes time can be both but having reached the time in my life that I am in I have been fortunate with my time on this earth.
