Playing with time in the void of my mind.

The time drifts the wind along
In ripples second takes
In miniscule dances sand is whipped along
To be deposited in another space
What has arrived from somewhere must depart
Before it settles in its place
Motion never stops to bend time
In blurs of memories things stand still
To only lose them when you turn around
And to have to find what was never there
In the end there is no beginning
For the circle never stopped
Whirling around the universe
So stability is what you can record
In a flashback that is destroyed
Every thing has a time with it
Except the human mind
It lies in a void
That time plays a game with it
And always wins

D.Lester Young,
This poem whirled and eddied like the sands caught in a gusty wind...or a time trap.
Well Done!
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
