Seem to pass by, until
I am lost as to where
They all went, disappearing
Right before my eyes
And I blink, to no avail, they
Do not come back, those
Precious people, the ones
I seem to forget, and yet
Always remember, when
It’s too late to do anything
About the lost minutes
Because I spent too many
Hours, waiting for that one
Moment, when time stops
But it doesn’t, does it?
And I forget that I shall
One day, cease to be
Still, I find time to wonder,
Where did the time go?

Just reread this marvelous piece! It hit me as hard it did the first time and I decided to reblog it. You, My Dear are so gifted!!! Love Your style.
Just in case I get complaints about me posting too much I want to warn You that I will be referring them to You as You are the cause of me reflecting on the “shortness of time” for this Baby-Boomer! Of course, I will make them fill out a form in triplicate before sending them to You! LOL! Again – Belissimo Dorinda, Bellissimo!!!!

Dorinda, Such a stunning piece! An extremely masterful and wise presentation of this great topic. I just loved all your lines but thought “but time doesn’t stop, does it? Was Great! We don’t value time enough do we? Video games???

I can relate to that so well. Waiting for a certain moment to come and hoping you could make time stop then. At least this is what comes to my mind when reading your poem.

Makes perfect sense. I would do the same. But I have a tendency to go back and reread something that doesn’t quite make sense lol
