Time

Seems so short 

Every day that we say goodbye to that person

we never know if that will be our last day

They could 

get in an accident 

commit suicide 

let all of their life oozing out through them and decide to give up on life

We can never see what may happen in the future

Life and death seem so far apart but so near

Time isn't endless

Thinks things through 

Say our goodbyes

And run against the time

Trying to stop it with all our might 

But never succeeding 

Time 

Death 

Time 

Death '

All interconnecting into one reality 

Loss and shortage 

Life is so short and we can't do anything about it 

the life span that 

God has given us

To what extent that duty shall be fulfilled 

Running 

Running out of breath 

running out of time 

Haven't quite done everything that you've wished 

But there is no time 

Time to say goodbye to this world 

Such a shortage of time 

As i lay closing my eyes 

And saying my goodbyes

Thank you for everything 

And never forget to look at them one last time 

Closing in 

The darkness and the cold 

The damp and the shortening of life 

No more 

No life 

Short time 


The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by the fact that my grandpa has cancer right now and I felt for the first time, how close we are to death. we never know when we are going to contract a disease and die. We could be in an accident and die. Time is short so if you want to live your life to the very extent, then people should be wiling to sacrifice anything and get to their dreams and passions. Time will never stop for you. But if you have the will to do that, then you can definietly stop time to do what you want to do.
