Beyond Time #Words Challenge

Published on by balroop singh

“Random word poetry is something that Jane Dougherty started writing last year. I think this is a great way to find inspiration, so let’s try it,” says Colleen. She has generated a list of 100 random words. The idea is to read through the words, searching for a word that sparks your inspiration. If you want to join the fun, click here for the word list. Thank you for the inspiration Colleen.

Beyond Time

On the curving edge of time
Sneak moments, shimmering with light,
Gliding with ease, still alive,
Eloquent beyond words and I watch…

They keep coming back
To warm our hearts, to harmonize,
To illumine the truths we forget –
Waves of life keep tossing.

We pursue a walking mirror
That echoes eclectic charms
Birthday delights, innocent chatter
Games that governed our hours.

Sometimes I pretend to fall
Into the hourglass of time
Clocks stand still but I walk
To inhale the odor of an old oasis.

in reflective mood
I climb the turrets of time
bizarre adventure

Thank you.

      1. It’s my pleasure,Balroop ji. I hope to be more regular in my reading this year. You’re right…’realism tells its own story.’ It’s how one narrates it;that matters. I loved the simplicity with which this poem flowed.
