Inspirational Quatrains.1. On Time

Rating: 5.0


We are granted a fixed quantum of time
Each second passes with a silent chime
But like a strident alarm clock
Time impinges on us like a loud knock

As the pendulum of time swings
Each day, to infinity steadily wings
Time is like a diminishing bank account
Nothing can be added to the existing amount

Time wasted should be our greatest regret
It is precious and irredeemable, never forget
Before infirmities set in, earn what you can
For man on Earth has only a short span

Time is like a diminishing bank account Nothing can be added to the existing amount In the short span one needs to do the best and mange the account.

The shortness of time granted [! ] is its own beauty and gravity. A fine reminder Valsa madam from you on man`s lapses. The poem is didactically developed on the tracks of human folly of wasting time... Man never learns though. I often wonder how boring it will be for us if we are thrown into hypothetical eternity where time will never leave us...

From the perspective of a lifetime the words ring true; from the perspective of Soul's eternalness, a little less so. It is important however that Soul surrenders and serves thereby assisting IT in seeing each Soul grow it's eternally expanding volume of knowingness.

So many lines of wisdom are present in this poem but two lines which stands out are ' Time is like a diminishing bank account ' , ' Nothing can be added to the existing amount ' , These two lines are so unique and so true, wonderful :)

Time wasted should be our greatest regret It is precious and irredeemable, never forget Before infirmities set in, earn what you can For man on Earth has only a short span Indeed, time wasted is never found. Time flies. Time waits for no man...these and many others are the quotes that are said each day about the significance of time. He who values his time, values his life too. This is another deliciously crafted poem on time. Very good write.....Great job madam!
