TIME

Our loved ones
Never really leave us

They are just our next
Breath away

Caught in another corner of
time, or so they say

The gears on the clock of time
Grind and grind

And the hands of the clock of time
turn and wind, it is time chasing time

And with each movement of the gears
What was ahead now is behind

Time is a healer and
Time is a thief

Passing by slowly
Or on feet ever so fleet

We are but travelers
On the road of life

Our loved ones await us
Just up the way

And time will carry us
to them someday

Love is...

Linda thrills. We are travelers, love is the fuel and time the vehicle, the last two lines say it all. I like the allusion to time as both a thief and a healer. The poem starts with time being a breathe away, takes on the physical clock ticking and chasing time into the nebulous future. A future that will surely come. What can I say? This poem is nicely written and I like every bit of it. Thumbs up and best wishes.

Hi Linda...

loved your view of time... it is a healer and a thief it leaves us broken and given enough time we are mostly healed from losses and falilures but there never is enough like the flow of your poem and the content very much Richard
