Theory of Endurance
Nothing lasts for ever
There is no permanence at all
Except for time maybe
Now then,
That is something else entirely
Don’t you agree darling …
Surely
Even time though
Will lose all meaning
Even purpose
Unless used as a measure
Against some other thing, maybe …

Neville,
Time—an unmeasurable concept
Time—a progression of events of past, present, and future.
‘Tis wise to be mindful of such events.
A meaningful and purposeful writing for yours truly considering the personal events of this past year.
Thank you for sharing.

A fine write Neville.
Cheers Orchidee........................
conversational style poetry is so under valued, it allows for so much more than a writer's skill or brevity to be exemplified, it opens the opportunity for all who read the work to make it entirely their own,
outstanding effort, instinctively compelling and yet - as ever with your work: sumptuously subtle
You just gone and got me blushing bloomin BIG my very fine and new literary friend ...Thank you ever so much L.B 🙂
Time is form and form as this piece of wisdom states is temporary in nature - but the formless as found in love and peace is part of the permanent - -- as I believe............x
Sapience becomes art through the medium of poetry.............. and the eyes of a my fine literary friend.... thank you dear Fay ..n truly

Life is but a series of changes. Nothing is permanent, including time.
To be used as a measure, time must remain constant, which it does not, in space. But that's neither here nor there and irrelevant to your poem.
In your poem it is the comparison that is paramount, one thing against another. No "maybe"s about it. and it left me to wonder what is being measured against what? I found the answer,I think, in the title, Theory of Endurance. How long will this relationship last? "Time and Purpose" become the governing things to be considered.. A thought provoker to say the least, and thoroughly enjoyable. - Phil A.
... thank you for considering these words Phil .. your obvious determination clearly paid off my friend .......... cheers
