Topic: Lifepoems

Time

The ocean was vast
Full of glimmering islands
..Specks in the sun
Shining their calls to explore
Onto the traveller.

He faces hard choices,
That traveller does
“Which isles shall I pick?
Which shall I leave out?
I can’t manage them all..”

And what if some day
A speck he omits
Were to be spoken eloquently of
On the voyaging screen,
In full praise of the place

Would he not rescind,
Regret his choice
Wishing he could have included
That isle in his plans,
Futile though it now might be?

For his plans never
Were they really his,
But his master’s, his enemy’s,
The one he contends with
Day after day

The giver and taker
Of opportunity
Dimension supreme that weaves through
All life, dictating amounts
Of specks he can pick...

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
