Poem 113 – Time

locked-in-time

Clocks change

Clank, grind, push, shove.

Back an hour.

Oh no!

It means?

Ummmm, an hour late?

An hour early?

What was 3 is now 2.

But at least the sun is up

No more going to work in the dark

No more stumbling around.

Around the world we all adjust

Time marches on

We have to keep up

It slows for no man

Just numbers for measuring the day

Knowing when to get up,

Run round, sit down,

Eat and sleep.

We live at the mercy of time

We each have a finite amount.

How we use it, is what matters.

Oh what time is it?

    This summarises things perfectly. I felt quite sad that this year the clocks changed on mother’s day in the UK (last weekend) so we lost an hour of my very favourite day of the year!

  2. It scares me a little when people mentioning our time is finite and will run our….it’s reality but I admit I don’t like to really think about it

    I hate when the time changes, as I see no use for it nowadays. But we deal the best we can. I liked this Michael. I agree also we each have only so much time in our lives, we do need to use it well.

  4. The poem and image jive nicely
    Great work… thanks and blessings

  5. Our lives in so many ways dictated by a clock, I hate when day light savings finishes, as it’s a reminder that cold weather is upon us 😦 you are right how we use it is what matters, tick tock… 🙂

    Oh the confusion that a one hour time change brings…
