Halls of Time

Everything is known, everything is planned
all the answers kept, every tear you ever wept
each and every penny through the years spent
the moment you took your first breath
till the moment you will take your last
those whom you’ve loved
those whom you’ve yet to love
the people who will love you
your frowns, smiles, disappointments and jubilations
the times when you eased a baby’s cries
the times when you gazed into a lover’s eyes
the future days of spring, summer, fall and winter
times that await discovery aglow in their being
the days when clouds may obscure reality
and those when the bright sun gives promise
the many things you’ve forgotten
the things you’ve yet to know
there is no hiding, no escape
it’s all enshrined in perfect order
within the halls of time.

Especially this line.

"Halls of Time" the title alone thrills me.

And the words you choose to fill the "Halls" are ringing ever so true! Past, present, future, all at once available, ready to be experienced ... it is mindboggling, isn't it?

Wonderful, profound write, dear Marcia.

Love,
Margherita

Mind-quivering concept and beautifully word-woven, as always, Marcia.

this comforts me in a weird way, thinking about being able to remember all the things we hold dear to us in this life. hopefully that's what we will all be remembering!
thanks

Yes indeed, we are there warts and all, Marcia. You put it all together perfectly . . .

This reminds me of a story that I heard recently about not squandering the gifts that we receive in life. I really like this poem, Marcia.

Thank you for sharing it.
