"Never Ebb"
The River Time stately flows
and spritely goes
within its fulsome bounds.
So many years run through her
without measure,
their purr comes forth a roar.
From nowhere stems River Time
in her full climb
to touch the Sea of Ages.
Through lives she makes fast her run
and sweeps till done
the tarnished world away.
Before her speed, man is quick
but for a tick.
She moves through him anon.
The current pulls worlds apart
in each new start
and eddy of the tide.
The earth would sit, lazy, there
but by the hair
the pull of time it moves.

This is one I wrote a while ago as a reflection on time. It isn't as strong as some others I've written, but it is not so ugly that I'm ashamed of it.

strong? i LOVED it!!! beautiful, the first stanza reminded me of Kubla Kahn. "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea."
i love that poem too...
