I like how you contrast the concept of the need for a clock. Maybe the reason I have difficulty with clocks because they are used to measure something...math math. This poem show that ultimately there is no need to measure.

I like this poem and the all true fact that no one knows how much time they have left. I'd rather not know, but the other greater truth is that God will be waiting after. :)

Comment from Theodore McDowell
Nice club entry. A very intriguing first line: we walk into eternity each day. It made me think, which is always a good thing. Your note also was very thought-provoking and insightful. Well done.

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Tina,
firstly, truly beautiful presentation!
That old chestnut... time. It is so true, our society and all revolves around a manufactured time frame... and I'm wondering if we didn't have anything to reflect our image, would we even have a perspective of time and its ravages?
But I digress.
I loved reading this most beautiful--poignant poem and subject matter. Capped off with what I just read and review of yours previously... they mirror a reflection... different, but very much alluding to the same topic. Either way, this poem is beautiful on its own merits... and a big thank you for sharing its beauty with me/us.
This poem lingered within its magic.
With our thoughts we create...
segments of movement.
Kind regards,
James.

Don't let time slip through your fingers passing you by. Make the most of what you have by making memories that will last when you pass.

Comment from Sally Law
Virtual six for this stunning poem! The verse from Proverbs 4:18 comes to mind,
The path of the righteous is like the morning sun,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
We are blessed to have light as we journey on and into eternity.
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the challenge,
