Time and the illusion of infinity

Paulrm December 19th, 2023

TIME

Is there a time limit on life or love

A sell-by date when the clock runs out

A best before without a doubt

Time is done, no scream, no shout


Finite beings whose experience is short

Fit it all in before the bell

Ringing for heaven, ringing for ***

I’m not quite done but who to tell?


Regret for the should

For the what-if and the could

Put things off until never

Blaming time and the weather


Can I go back to the start

Make the list and fill the cart

Do all the stuff I believed I should

Write my history in sand or mud


Your time is up

Your lists are long

Some things done right, some things done wrong


Try again next time

Or learn your lesson

Appreciate reality, navigate obsession



understanding the balance between desire and capability is a hard reality.  Accepting and recognizing accomplishment and success is a skill worth using!

This made me feel so many different emotions. I feel like I'm about to cry from all of the things I felt and remembered. I'm not feeling so well these days, but reading this it gives me back hope! Thank you! Keep on writing, this is what the art is for.
