As Time Goes By...

by Midnight Sun   May 14, 2007


As time goes by
Do we waste it?
Or do we truly embrace every second?
Because we can never stop time in it's tracks.
Unlike inferior human beings
Time isn't vulnerable to sweet talk or kissing up,
It keeps going by us
With or without our consent.
And can we truly blame it for running away from us?
Its only goal is to get out of this imperfect world,
But isn't that our only hope also...
To get away?
Really the only difference between us
Is that we can stop and enjoy the creation,
But time is constantly running.
So as time goes by,
Do we waste it
Or truly embrace it?

    Nice job. I like the way you used your opening lines as a refrain at the end also. makes a nice rythym. and i love the theme of the poem. we are in such a hurry to get to that next landmark, whether it be next week's vacation, or 11 months from now, that sometimes its hard to appreciate the here and now. in short, loved it.

    Good questions posed here. I like how you said it's running to get out of this world. that was a good line. nice to see you do some free verse as well, you picked it up nicely!
