about time

some poetry, micropoetry and quotes about time

***

the sun set
earlier than usual
after noon, late afternoon

and the sky
still blue
ruby tinged clouds

the fatigue of day end
surprised working people
sipping karak chai

stars protested at their earlier shift
new moon was unbothered
confused birds pecked hurriedly

and they all defied time
steadfastly moving at its own pace

***

translating thoughts into words
stealing moments from time

***

time’s laws
precise though subtle
conqueress of memories
womb of hope

***

watch how tomorrow
will silently creep into yesterday

yet time has nowhere to go

and even though you count the hours
time can never end

***

the arrogance of time, believing
it moves forward
it is the healer
until karma blinks

***

Time moves only on the surface

~ Osho

***

and they celebrate time
as though it ever changes

all of time is a moment
only this moment
within this moment, eternity

***

karma works all the time
but sometimes it takes its time

***
