The Truth of Time

[Dr. Ivo Robotnik]

Time is neither beginning nor end

These are just words

Time progresses, a river, flowing only forward

The spring is eternal

Time wears the ages away, all things fade

it never stops, and never will

Time exists outside of space and matter

yet governs all there is

Time builds worlds, destroys stars, and cannot end

only those who count it will fade.











Yes, not traditionally what you would call poetry, but this is one of the poems that won me acclaim in my creative writing class. The others are my "Flood of Hope" poem, and my "Severed Strings" poem.


EDIT: I just noticed that this is forum post 666, and it is a post that includes "truth" in the title.

Hm.

I don't know. For some reason I'm not liking it that much. It seems a bit too cliche, like I heard these terms before.

But I do like the last line, that I thought was good.

Just my opinion.

In truth, the poem started out as a line I copied from the Wheel of Time's trademark beginning, and expanded upon.


So...yeah. Boredom kills, and I wasn't interested in the elemental theme the teacher was trying to have us write. So....I wrote this.
