Time

By Nancy Dostie

 

One of life’s enigmas is

That Time we can’t define.

Where does it go when it has passed,

And where is Future’s line?

 

Is past in history books alone,

Existing on their pages?

Or has God put it somewhere else?

Where are those long-lost ages?

 

What exactly is that word?

Can it be felt or seen or heard?

Our senses cannot grasp it

Nor preserve it with mere words.

 

Perhaps God grabs those fleeting minutes

And stores the up on other planes

To use them for some other souls

For them to try to live again

 

And Future does elude us;

For it we try to plan.

Some say they can predict it.

But only God knows—never Man!

 

So wisely we should use it;

Present moments fly so fast!

For, long-lost years escape us,

And Future we cannot yet grasp,

 

Might we say that Time is Eternity, slowed down?
