Well said. Philosophical and spiritual at the same time. It restates all the statements we have heard about time but in a delightful way. It manages to be instructive but not preachy; thoughtful but not melancholy. I like the Latin words at the end. They express the timelessness of time in a very nice way by drawing on the past to emphasize the present. I like the implication that while time seems endless, it is not always limitless. Time and circumstance render it flexible but measurable. No one owns it. A very good piece. "Timepiece?"

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Time has a habit of changing, it can go very slowly or it can be quick as a flash. When time is running out we feel the pressure of it slipping away from us. I enjoyed your thoughts here, many will identify with these words, love Dolly x x x

I thought this was so creative. For me timagery of the river and the hourglass made me think about the the passage and preciousness of time. Your closing lines leave a powerful message. Very creative and well written.

This is very well written, and I enjoyed very much listening to it. We all do need to remember that our time is precious and that we need to make the very best of it as we can. In the scripture it says we are to redeem the time, so may we take time to remember to do those things that are good and blessed in the sight of the Lord. Patricia.

Hi
Your poem is written in such a way that even if mistakes are found, you can say poetic license
Are you from Great Britain or Australia? We Americans spell realise as realize. That was a clue to me that you're British
Time slipping away is the theme of your poem and also what we do in the short time we're here
Some of us have more time than others there are babies that die and go straight to heaven
I live in an assisted-living facility and our oldest resident just died. She was 104. So some of us have more time than others. Her son who used to come get her and take her to doctor appointments with 80 years old or older. Imagine that a kid who that old having a mother who still alive. I'm guessing that she might've lost some of her children if she had other besides her son that comes here
I guess as long as she was a good mother then it was a good thing for him I'm guessing that she lost some children if she had any others
I believe you should put that last line in your notes because I don't think you want your readers to leave your poem and go to the Internet and then maybe never come back. It's a simple thing to put in your notes what that means and it's helpful to the reader and you should always do things that are helpful to the reader.
I enjoyed reading your poem
Good job. Thank you for sharing.
It sure would be nice if you had a note about that last line or do you expect us to leave your poem and go to the Internet and maybe never come back?
