#poem, «Time»

TIME

Time is a concept to measure
our irritations
celebrations
calculations
integration…

Time is the tool to fix
our interactions
chain-reactions
satisfaction
country mansions…

Time is the way we imagine
dinner-time
alibis,
life of crime
lack of rhyme…

Time is the remedy for
friendships long forgotten
education
sad despair
all things broken…

Time is the reason for
work that broke our weary backs.
inspiration
modulation
adaptation
syncopation…

Time is our punishment for injustices
immigration,
indignation
save the man,
forget the nation
nations rise and nations fall
but man was made by God…

Time is a feather that fell from a broken bird,
which I found on a dark and dusty path
through a green, clingy forest
underneath a grain of sand.

When I picked up the feather
it weighed as much as eternity.

Eternity embraces time
and with feathers time does fly…

    «When I picked up the feather
    it weighed as much as eternity…» as light so heavy to bear too…
