Endlessness Of Time Poem by Heather Burns

Endlessness Of Time

Rating: 5.0


I continually
take the past
bring it forward

trying to
make it the
future

But the door
has been
closed
and locked

the key thrown
into the
endlessness
of time

somewhere
at the bottom
of the ocean.

Time and space are endless, Past is a memory. Present is a tale. Future is a fantasy.

But the door has been closed and locked, the key is thrown into the endlessness of time. Yes madam! we can't make the past come back. Very deeply and nicely composed. Thanks.

The future is unkown; but, to remember the past. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of your best poems I must say! We all say that we must live in the present! But our past and present are inextricably connected together that we can hardly estrange ourselves from them and they make our future to a great extent! Enjoyed!

Short profound deep and brilliant write. We need to search the key from deep ocean of time. your poems are free from all complexities and common reader can easily understand. My one senior colleague told me, you know all popular rhymes like twinkle twinkle little star etc. are written in soft words. I find same in your all poems short sweet and easy with deep meaning. Thanks for share. Regards.
