Time Does Not Take Sides,(or, Time Has No Sides)

“Forever is composed of nows.”– Emily Dickinson



Time Does Not Take Sides,
(or, Time Has No Sides)



The universe has been no stranger

To the world’s magnanimous mess


Regardless the sun

Continues to illuminate the sky

No matter what happens

Until the end of time


Earthlings believe

That time is on their side

Thoughtlessly blind to the fact

That time takes no prisoners

Hears no commands

And time has no sides!

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  10. that’s just, the mirage of us, dumb humans, thinking that we have insurmountable time on our hands, and we’d, squandered away the years, and as we lie on those, deathbeds, regrets started all, flowing, back towards us, drowning us all, but hey, we are, a very unintelligent species of living organisms, thinking we can and are in control of EVERYTHING, when we control, absolutely, NOTHING!

  11. So true!
    This posting is a powerful important quartet of photo, quote, poem, and song, Ivor!
    We must live now, act now, help now, love now, etc…we only have this present moment. We are not promised the next.
