Time Ticks. Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Time Ticks.



Time ticks.
Low the flame of life.
Desire throbs still
Slow.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

TIME TICKS - Such a simple statement but it contains the essential meaning of our existence, namely, time moves on relentlessly and someday will move on passed us, without us. In the meantime, our existence is characterized by - DESIRE. I couldn't agree more. The poem ends with two adverbs - STILL and SLOW. Between the two of them is our human fate. Our desires persist and thrive within, but our existence, our time winds down, down, nothing.
