Time

Time, are you a friend or foe? At times it’s difficult to know,

If you are on my side or working hard to make me weak.

Some Time’s slow and some Time’s fast, I some Time’s long for you to last,

Instead you just ignore my wish and past me you will sneak.

 

A clock to beat, a race to run, from early dawn to setting sun,

You some Times give me too much Time, and other’s not enough.

A gift to treasure and embrace, moving at a steady pace,

Some Times you are a pleasure, yet some Times can be so tough.

 

Golden Moments that you give, will allow me to forgive

The proof of your existence by these lines upon my face.

Help me make the mountain climb, where flows your gentle stream of Time.

And let me age along with you with dignity and grace.

 

You wait for no one, still I wait, because within you lies my fate.

My future good or bad and for whatever life may bring.

I have a date with destiny, we’ll keep each other company,

For every second flying softly on your gilded wings.

(yet another forward come to my way)

    Time is neither friend nor foe
    Time is neither night or light
    Time is neither yesterday or morrow
    Time is never black or white
    Time is today, time is now
    Never does it wait for you

    It is a beautiful piece that you have written. Guess we are never cognizant of time.

    Take care :)

    Hi Mini it was beautiful!!
    time is a prop only for our earthly journey —-in the soul plane there is no such measure.everything happens together—past present and future—–this earthly journey is just a chapter.

    I”ve always felt time is the single most parameter GOD created that will have affected every individual’’s life. Only when we die we escape the from the clutch of time. We also have to give an account of the time given to us by GOD to him.

  22. nishant shah says

    Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
    Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
    The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

    PINK FLOYD

    How true..! Time and tide do not wait for anybody. And alas, you can”t bring back the time foregone, though all of us wish to go back in time and see how things would have been different in a new road ahead.
