When we lose a loved one or are in some way suffering, time becomes all important, it is both our enemy and our friend. Time heals all wounds it is said, but the time it takes to heal is so very painful. Time goes by too quickly or too slowly depending on


Time, You Are A Dichotomy

Time you are a dichotomy
A forked branch of the same tree
You are a friend that hurts
A foe that heals
You are welcomed and dreaded
You heal the things you hurt
You hurt the things you heal
You hurt like the needle
That delivers the serum of healing
You hurt as you pass with a loved one missing
By passing you heal the hurt of missing that loved one
We need you, time to be alone with our pain
We are lonely in our pain when we've had our fill of you
You pass too quickly when all is well
You pass too slowly when we suffer
Yet your passing is often the remedy to our suffering
We beg for more of you and we pray for your end
Time you are a dichotomy

Individuality
what is that with time that when we are sad it goes slower and when we are happy it passes quickly by, i think we should start a petition to reverse that effect!

This says exactly how time effects us in these opposing situations. Well done Sis

Yeah, Time is all that and much more!
it hurts, it heals,
it laughs, it cries,
it runs it drags,
it fumes it farts...lol!
I have a poem too on Time that has been lying in the drafts for quite sometime now, should post it soon for you.

((((Hugs Phyllus for this full of wisdom and truth poem!))))

Love, Zoya
