Time

Jerry Reynolds

 

time stops-
if you stop
long enough
to hear it
passing

    Good write Jerry.

  • dusk arising

    A delightful contradiction which forces one to spend time to think about it. Where does time go?

    • Jerry Reynolds

      Thanks, Dusk.
      Contradictions can do that.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Oh how true Jerry - to stand still stops time for a moment and lets us hear silence.

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Thanks, Fay.
        You can just feel it wash over you.

      • Accidental Poet

        Time is to the second hand
        As the heart is to the beat 🤔

      • Doggerel Dave

        How else can I meditate from now on without reference to your words, Jerry?

        • Jerry Reynolds

          Thanks, Dave.
          Glad I could help, meditation is good.

        • flyingfish

          If only my watch would speak 'Tick' , 'Tock' how else do we hear time passing?

          • Jerry Reynolds

            Thanks, F.F.
            The beat of your heart, breath in and out, footsteps in the grass now-then; now-then
