Elusive.

Goldfinch60

It is always there,

It just cannot be avoided,

But sometimes it can be so elusive.

Why does it happen

When we need to do something,

We cannot do it

Because we do not have enough of it,

That elusive thing that surrounds us,

Is always with us,

Time!

    A fine write. I was wasting too much TIME figuring out why 'tomorrow' never comes. When it gets here, it's 'today', etc!

    Where time goes
    no one knows
    day then night
    dark then light
    or is it vice versa?

    • Goldfinch60

      Nobody knows. Thanks Michael.

      TIME ~ always stirs my muse ~ may post one next week. All Men (and Women even !) are created EQUAL in this ONE respect ~ GOD grants each of us (on Planet Earth) 24 precious hours every single day ! How we use those 24 hours is our gift back to GOD. I rise at 7pm and get to bed about 12 midnight ~ 17 hours each day ~ I never run out of time and I even have time to post a poem on MPS every day and comment on five or more ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

      Where has the day gone

      Where the night has not yet been

      Time rewinded in a hologram dancing in a collapsed cynosure of chance

      Marvelous write gold

        Time is payment for the wages of sin . We get paid every second for the rest of our lives .
