I had a vision one moment in time
and then for more moments forgot that time
but time circles round and I’m back again
in the vision I had that one moment in time.

But that vision now in this moment of time
a fraudulent means of enlivening mind
and is but a rock on the path of belief
that crashes to ground perceived insight.  

I now have the wisdom, the wisdom of time,
the broad based knowledge of a jilted bride
and yet of all visions they ne’er are content
to lie fallow as dead in the circles of time.

Visions and time how they intertwine
and move together like husband and wife!

"Visions and time how they intertwine"

time was on my mind today, too.

M - Best not to think about time - it's a useless endeavour "me" thinks!

I welcome the visions of moments in time, as long as I am not stuck in them. Sometimes we benefit from visions like these, gaining more wisdom.
Your reflections as always are deep and thought provoking, dear Helen!

Very well done!

Love,
Margherita

Time just goes by too fast for my liking. It seems to me that when you want time to go by fast, it doesn't. But when you sit back and totally disregard time, a magical thing happens and time flies by to fast   LOL

But enough talk about time, it's a Sunday (I don't like Sundays) ~ Enjoyed this write

to you Helen

Wow, that says it all, doesn't it?

Thank you dear Margherita,  I guess I'm guilty of being stuck in a vision but only just until I'm not.  

Arctic Wind - You must be a speed reader.  I used to do a lot of writing on a Sunday night (Sunday Stories) and so much so that one of our lovely poets calls me "Lady Sunday".  I hope you will learn to like Sundays - they're such peaceful days.

Love
Helen

Hi Kacy - I guess it does say it all for now but then again time isn't something that I have a handle on so the vision or visions may very well prove to have been meaningful.  Thanks so much for the read.

Helen
