Time

Time

Effervescent memories

cherished few moments

like fine wine 
from bottle uncorked 

wafted through my mind.

I began to reason.

Time the untamed,

unlike tide at shores 

we say it flows,

where no one knows

Time the unbendable.

Dali whimsically bent

as clocks hung to dry

in a defiant N' valiant try. 

Time the indivisible,

fractioned into nano

a fictional scale 

to measure 

well, eternity 

and a day

Time the linear wanderer

leaves an awed wonderer

to question its course onward

neither upward or downward 

nor even backward

simply just forward

onto unknown whereward

To grasp time irretrievable is 

to bottle memories of space

its wedded partner.

It holds within 

the moments

that slither away

before mind formulates 

sound of a mere ‘h'

of here and now.

Time the elusive.
