Do I follow time or does time follow me?

If I turn around fast enough can I catch it in my hand?

Can I make it stand still right in this moment-crystallized sugar?

Can I roll it on my tongue and partake of beauty sweet in my mouth?

What are the parameters of joy and how do we bear it's ending?

What is giving me hope and where does the light reside?

Why when my body falls heavy beneath me does wisdom make my heart easy?

Do words pierce matter and melt the boundaries of distance?

Why do dreams come true when we let them go?

Why are our minds so constructed that as soon as we find one answer, we must ask another question?

dreams come true when we let them go because they have come into fuition and no longer neded our guidance ...

Can relate to each and every one of these, Linda - and reckon my findings are much the same as yours! Especially love the last three which seem to me to be inter-connected, united by the fact that wisdom is both an agent and a satisfactory end in itself. The beautiful thing about wisdom is that is it self-sufficient and is no man's fool!! LOL Kate xx

Dreams are of their own violation they create
themselves in your subconscious mind. I think?
lol These are all tough questions but I never
question my heart it must lead me right or I'll
suffer the consequences. Tough questions and a
very heart rendering poem. Your dreams will come
true Linda! I believe in your feelings and know
they come from your loving heart.

Time exists only to let us know what has transpired, what is happening and what might happen if time continues. Time is what we make it, time is existence and in the end time will not prevail.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
