Where does time go
does it go, is our perception askew?
What if time just is? Always there.
Moving like the clouds, like the waves
Being always time, sky and sea.
What about us? Are we just living linear
or are we fluent too?
Always part of the Stars, the Universe, Earth,
living all the time.
Don’t let us limit ourselves with numbers and dates.
Live in peaceful meditation or stormy dance
in Love, always in Love.
With tears when they come and smiles of a child.

Beautiful Miriam.
Time is a mind construct. It just is.
And if time is a mind construct so is space 😊 and that means you and me too 😊😇

Thank you Ashok for your great comment.
We just are within all. Don’t know about mind construct, does that not bring us back to the linear? 😊.

What if time is just there … for me it means it doesn’t come and go anywhere 😇
It is a screen on which our life events happen and it gives the appearance of moving, of going 😊
Time as we know it, is important as a frame of reference and it would be linear 😊

I do believe time is fluid and that everything that has happened is still happening somewhere – time is a mysterious thing.

Andrea, thank you for your wonderful comment. I do agree with all you
say and often feel we are conflicted with the word time.
It is a mysterious thing even though we appreciate the need for appointments and every day functioning of the modern world.

Miriam, a beautiful and deeply thought-provoking poem! We all seem intent on reigning in the impossible, time! Putting parameters on something that just is, always has been and will be, which as been part of us since the very beginning.
From the infinity to time your bring us to the essence of our being here on Earth,
‘in Love, always in Love’
Let love lead the way as we learn to be, letting time be as we live and feel all moments to the core! Xx ❤️

Dear Annika, thank you for your wonderful comment. So clearly you point out that time has been with us from beginning and our attempts to reign it in within a small frame work often leads to misery.
I quote your lovely passage “ Let love lead the way as we learn to be, letting time be as we live and feel all moments to the core! “
So true.
Having said that, clock time is necessary in both working life and other appointments as we function on more than one level. As long as we are aware and clock does not rule us. 💕🌻

I think the time is always there, because it is us humans that pass. For a long time I had a quote on my bulletin board that I’ve always thought about and that has helped me manage my time better: “It’s not too little time that we have, it’s too much time that we have not use.”
(Quote from Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
Miriam, I wish you all the best!

Thanks, Isha. It is difficult in this particular poem to say where inspiration came from as it seems more of a juxtaposition of thoughts, comments, quotes, experiences. A feeling that time just is there. Calmly.
