I don’t have any time, and I always need more.

Freakin’ time!

Since I have none to spare today, I’m sharing one of my favorite poems I wrote on the subject, which was originally a No Theme Thursday submission paired with Kevin’s beautiful images.


Time’s Questions


Image by Kevin from The Beginning at Last

Is time an illusion, a trick of the mind?

Or a man-made construct, leaving us blind?

Are we really living, or just passing each day?

Are our lives fulfilling, or leading us astray?

Questions to ponder, or simply a phase?

A life worth living, or are the memories a haze?

Do we remember, our loved ones in the end?

Do we cherish and reconcile, with our hearts to mend?

Do you believe time has passed you by?

And what happens upon your final goodbye?

Do you live everyday as great as you should?

Doing everything in your power, the best that you could?

Do you look up at the clock, and feel life is a lie?

Do you wonder where time went, and ask yourself why?

Should you change your mindset, and not worry about time?

Is wasting our existence, the greatest of crimes?

Ask yourself, what life do I want to live?

Before it’s too late, and there’s nothing left to give.

Bio: I’m a native of South Florida, and true to what they say, I’ve got a bit of crazy in me. I grew up in what would once be considered a small town named Pompano Beach. At one time, it was known as a “fishing village”. Now it has substantially grown in size.
