Time

A moment of inspiration from a good friend. (With MP3 reading)

Time waits for no souls.

He just keeps rolling on  

like Old Man River.

  

Sometimes he tumbles us

roughly over the jagged

rocks of his shallow rapids,

and sometimes he takes us

on a slow, leisurely drift

in the warm sunshine

past places so beautiful

that we never imagined

they even existed, let

alone daring to imagine

that we'd ever see them.

 

Our job is to survive the

rapids and then, to savor those

sweet, sweet, slow drifts.

This is very lovely Jerry. I can imagine all the subtleties of this. It's so fluid and moving. It makes me want to go to these places, or at least search them out. Is that you reading it aloud? *giggles* That's pretty neat! I've never heard a poem read aloud before. That made it even more wonderful. Nice job!

The metaphor of the river for time is just genius, taking us through the ups and downs of life, reminding us that if we don't slow down, time will slip through our fingers, like water.

This has perfect flow and meter.
It has my 100% rating!
