Time

The world turns

And so do I

Time moves on 

So I must follow

Night and day

To ride the waves 

Through each of my tomorrows

Changing seasons

The cycle goes

Those ever changing tides

To planetary gravity

I must and will abide

For I cannot control the time

Nor see where it will lead me

I have to trust and hold it's hand

Let Time guide me freely

One small fish in the great tide

Another passenger along for the ride

A blip, a blur, the blink of an eye

One tiny speck in Eternal Time

I love the flow of this poem Lisa as well as the statement it makes about time and how we are caught up in it
'one small fish in the great tide'
I also love the fact that
'Time moves on so I must follow'
So many great lines

Love it

I used to think time was the enemy, but now we've formed a temporary truce. Liked this one Lisa.
