#poem, «Time»

(«Seagulls»/Photo by and property of Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

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…

C.2025 Francisco Bravo Cabrera – 31 JUL 2025 – Aegean Coast of Türkiye

Dear Diary, page 71

The heat is unbearable around these parts, and when I say «these parts» I mean around the world, at least the part of the world where it is summer. I hear that in the other half it is winter…

To get away from the heat I chose the sea where it is always sunny but where cool breeze (and winds) run to refresh the body, mind and soul. And I sailed around little Aegean coves and beaches lost in time and I thought about time.

This led to my poem «All I Am Is Time» that speaks about the fact that we are constantly remembering, thinking and wondering and it is all about one constant, time…

Life is time. Time only exists because we exist to live it, live through it and live within it. Memories are related to the times when we lived them and as we re-live them, we are placing them back in the circle of time. And why do I say/think time is a circle? Because everything in the universe is circular. I believe we live in a circular (not global) universe of time where we are creating and consuming time continuously.

There are multiple timelines and universes. How many? As many as one can imagine because in time there is room for eternity. Time doesn’t fill up. Time is eternal and limitless. So I do believe we live in an interminable circle of time that we create, destroy and create again.

I believe in God, the Creator of Time, the giver of Life and the Merciful one that ensures that our time goes on. World without end…

I hope you enjoy the poem which is coming up.

By the way, in the photograph there is a little boat that is for sale. I’m thinking it of buying it, tying to the back of the sailboat and bring it home… 😊

Visiting the Island Of Χίος (Chios)… Like Last Year…

(Sunset over the island of Χίος (Chios) as seen from the coast of Türkiye/photo by and property of FBC, Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia/All Rights Reserved)

While sailing the magical, mystical Aegean Sea I cannot help but return to good friends and good food in the Greek island of Χίος (Chios). It is a place I love dearly as I do the whole of the Aegean Sea and the coasts, both on the Greek side and on the Turkish side. It is all filled with history, beauty, great people and delicious food and drinks. And the wines from this region of Türkiye have gotten better and better…

This video was from a pre-pandemic visit (2019) to the island of Χίος (Chios), I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed the island…
