Roaring whisper by ~sjon:iconsjon:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


Time will tell.

But time is mute.
It passes by silently
slowly moving like a mighty river
unstoppable.

Time will tell.

Yet time flies by
soundlessly rushing
hurrying along trying to catch itself
unrelenting.

Time will tell.

Deafeningly silent
it accelerates and slows
staying close and out of reach
unwaiting.

Time will tell.

It's roaring unheard
like an army marching by
stomping footsteps on the clouds
uncatchable.

Time will tell.

but we won't hear.

More than a year has past.
But I still live.
Strange thing is that work is killing me, I am doing an average of about 12hours a say, six sometimes seven days a week. So I am exhausted. And yet inspiration rears it head again.

thanks.

It's not high art but it's a good mood-setter to get my rusty poetic bones back in action. ^_~

for a poetic-disaster like I am this sounds better than everything I could imagine (and many I know from others), so you earned my whole admiration. keep up the good work ;p
