Time
is not on
my side.
Its seconds
pass by and
slip through
my fingers.
No matter
how I wish hard
for things to go
slowly, Time takes
its own course and
lets all the hours
age me and my
impatience.
My eyelids
are already heavy
and I am
feeling lightheaded-
but even in sleep,
Time continues to run.
My dreams do nothing
to keep me
from being
a dying pawn
of this ironically
ageless concept.

Claps.
Yes. Time...
"Time flies...slowly." I used to say that (made that up, though I think someone's thought of that before). However, now that I'm (slightly xD) older I can understand how fast time flies...and the truth is dawning upon me--that one day I'm going to be old, and the people I love (my family, friends) will be also.
I dread the day.
Anyway. Good poem. Very true.

i understand how you feel
guess we all have felt the same way
the elusiveness of time
running, ticking every second
and we're left helpless

Wonderful
My first impression? St. Augustine. How can one measure the present when the past and future never coalesce in a given instant? Hours divided into minutes divided into seconds divided into miliseconds and so on. Perhaps one is given a memory in order to fuse the past and the present and make time stand still. "The past inside the present." And the future? One only knows of anticipation. But what if perhaps the future is the past and the past the future. Can this theory be tested? I only know of being and becoming. It is purely subjective, as all things are (if I may be so bold).
