Nothing Holding Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Timing life as it empties itself into the atmosphere,
disappearing beyond an invisible horizon that we on
earth cannot see at all.

We measure it's motion as it moves constantly away
from us, never missing a beat, following it's own
rhythms.

Ignoring those of mankind for they have no relevance
at all when it comes to divulging the equations of
it's essence.

We have applied our minds to tracing it's paths
throughout our lives with clocks, watches, digital
moments, yet we do not control or engineer it at all.

Time is totally on it's own, nothing holding it because
it's beyond our earthly comprehension and no one is able
to keep it from moving on.
