It is a all question of our perception, how we look at Time, it depends on how it is spent...


Time- A question of Perception

'Time' is a question of our perception,
It is like the theory of relativity
Einstein once explained:
If you are waiting for your beloved,
then few minutes of time stretch to forever;
And if you are sitting on hot stove,
the few seconds never seem to end, ever;
But if you are on a rendezvous with your beloved,
Hours just melt into seconds and days are gone in hours,
Time just passes too quickly like a breeze of fresh air-
A fragrant waft of zephyr...
A moment of ecstasy is etched in our psyche forever...
A moment of agony never leaves our side, ever...

Time is a question of our perception
Now here; now gone forever!
It all depends on how it's experienced
It all depends on how it's felt...

Jesus. What a brilliant read, this should punish me for not going to poetbay, but instead it makes me feel envy, passion, buzzy inside. Like as if I want to read it again and again, and write side by side with it.

Applaude.

Zoya...did what you said...I read "Time...a question of perception"

Beautifully written...and, oh, so true...

And besides which, who am I to argue with Einstein?!!!

I agree with everything you wrote. I get caught in "time warps" all of the time where minutes to me are really hours in real time. I loved it!

Its very true and little bit analytical... life is made of time fragments, its on us how use that little time frames.

yeah perception is reality and anything beyond reality is truth. When context marries the state of mind, a new relationship emerges which is time I guess. Zoya's philosophical rendezvous.
