Killing Time
I think it only fair
to suggest,
time needs us
and dearly
just to prove that
it exists ..
But there is not
enough
of it left to enjoy
and the dark
days that still lie
ahead of us
bare the longest
of shadows
and the deepest
of grudges ..
Yet still I have
no doubt
whatsoever that
without us,
time as we both
know it,
would cease
to exist altogether ..

Well, home, Neville, and Happy New Year. Well worded. Your poem revolves around the relationship between humans and the concept of time. The poem suggests that time is dependent on human perception and existence for its significance, and it conveys a sense of urgency and inevitability regarding the passage of time, especially in the face of darkness and challenges.
