Until now time traveled like an arrow
From bud to flower then to fruit
Never known to reverse, except mythical
Dates pile up one over the other into ages.
Origins of mysterious time unknown
Though some would profess to know
Believed to have started from big bang
Which none can trace from the past.
Time separates events
As before and after
It becomes timeless
When events disappear.
There is measureless time inside
That expands and contracts like a balloon
Make us to count in discomfort
Pass like a moment in joy.
A time travel never takes us
To revisit events of our memories
Nor to wish for future dreams
Between two myths real present unraveled.
Time alerts us
To brace up to dangers
God creates the events
But man learned to predict them in time.
Time stands between
A day and a night
A womb and a tomb
Between two nodes of a song
Different geological settings
Hard to knock a time out of them.
Author notes
Time is creation of us, time disappears as events disappear

Yes you do bring up some interesting facts about time, how it separates events otherwise everything would happen at once and we wouldn't be able to make sense of it. I loved this and you seem to be quite brainy and smart to think in such ways. Well done.
