The Essence of Time

by HarryT

About Time Contest Winner 
Time is an illusion or is it a delusion?
Either way time is not for certain

Albert said, time is relative and flexible
There is no past, present or future

Others claim time had a beginning
Was it the Big Bang when it began?

If so, what was before the Bang?
When did now become then?

Some say time is unending
Some say time is ever expanding

Others say time is a measurement
Others claim it is a convenient figment

Does time march on?
Can't we dial time backward and forward?

In our mind's recall, we speak of yesterdays
Run it forward and we speak of tomorrows

There is no yesterday, except in our imagination
There is no tomorrow, it is only our cogitation

There is no beginning
There is no ending

It is all an illusion
Time is timeless

The only time is NOW
