As I walk by My River I realised,
Realised that time is like a River.
If you touch the water
You cannot touch the same water again
As the River moves on
And that section of water has flowed,
Flowed away and will never pass again.
So each moment of life
Is like that River and they move on.
Every moment in life is unique,
Ensure that you enjoy every moment,
Enjoy every moment in your life.

You follow in the steps of Heraclitus my friend but I imagine following his steps will not lead to the same destination. A wonderful write Gold and so true.
We each follow our own steps soren to that destination that awaits us. Thank you for your kind words.

My comments on the poem “Time Is Like A River” by Goldfinch60
Amazing poetry here ! You notice the similarities between running time and the flowing water of the river. Both go in one direction and never come back. They cannot be held back. If running water is held back, it will work its way round the obstacle. Similarly, no one can hold time back.
Reminds me of the words of Robert Burns :
“But pleasures are like poppies spread ---
You seize the flower, the bloom is shed;
Or like snow falls in the river ---
A moment white, then melts forever.”
--Robert Burns (1749-1796)
Snow melts forever; time disappears forever. We poets are aware of that. That is why we leave back our messages, our legacies in writing.
Keep writing !.... Soman Ragavan. 25 June, 2024.
