Time

Time passes by,
like grains of sand wash over the desert floor.
It eases pain,
and preserves memories.
Trying to stop time,
is like trying to catch the wind.
As time passes us by,
we change and move with the wind that it ushers in.
Time passes by,
like the streams of water flowing down to the ocean.

Nothing can undo time,
replace what will be,
or what was.
It will just pass by.

Author notes

When penning this. I was thinking about to parts of my life that I wish I could have redone.. Its amazing how we change things and would have done them different if we could.. but the truth is why would we want to.. Things happen for a reason..

    Amazing job.

    I loved the line: Trying to stop time,
    is like trying to catch the wind.
    This blew me away. I loved it. It was sweet. Very thought-provoking.

      I was asked to submit this write to a poetry contest. But they wanted to me pay for my entery. It just seemed fishy to me.

    sis ths is amazing!!!! i love it so much and i think that it expresses how when something happens and you wish it didn't, you can't change it.

    Or like when you want to live a moment over and over again, but you can't you just have to stick to the memories....

    good write sis and i love you uber much
    and

    Interesting

    Interesting analysis and poem. I especially like the line, "trying to stop time,/ is like trying to catch the wind."
    I like the rhythm and drama it creates.
    Aslo, did you mean grains of sand or grains of sad ( what you have typed is the latter) .
