Clocks

Where does time go?

Once it is spent, does it cease to exist?

Or does it stay,

Floating on the wind, a daunting reminder of the past?

 

Where does time go?

Does the grim reaper revel in our lost moments?

Or does time stay sealed

In an old cardboard box, somewhere in Limbo?

 

Where does time go?

Do pieces of it stay with us until our death,

At which point it is passed on?

Or is time a mere concept, and essentially nothing?

 

Where does time go?

Is it broken once it is spent?

Lying shattered on the ground, forgotten?

Or is it preserved in a safe somewhere in heaven (or hell)?

 

Where does time go?

Does it pass on, into the void?

Or is time ever existent,

Flowing through our veins?

 

Where does time go?

Personally, I don't care.

Just so long as this moment, now,

Doesn't pass too quickly.

Very nice exploration of time, and experience when viewed through the lens of time. Where does time go? Great question and I love the conclusion.
"Personally, I don't care. Just so long as this moment, now, Doesn't pass too quickly."
Well written and well thought out. Now is everything after all!

You have certainly gotten time right...whenever we wish time would stand still, it, speeds up and vice versa. This was well written and an enjoyable read!

I love it.

Time never seems to do what we wish, if we want it to move fast it moves slow and the opposite when we want it to move slow. It seems time does as it pleases. Wonderful piece Lucy

Time, time is passing so quickly you never notice, I believe what you said in the last stanza is what everyone wishes, time going away slower...
I love the flow of this poem as well!
Nice written!
