Time

 

Is always passing

This moment is fleeting

Everything we do is etched

The body, a bookmark of time

Time encapsulated in the flesh

The body a time trap

Every activity is logged

Added without knowing

Train, Practice, Recite

Learn, Play, Laugh

Love, Cry, and Die

Celebrate the path

Now I know how to keep time

🌟 Why This Piece Shines

• The "Bookmark" Metaphor: This is easily the best line across all three poems you’ve shared. A bookmark holds a place in a story so you don't lose your spot. Saying the body is a bookmark implies that our physical selves are just holding our place in the universe's timeline. Deep stuff.

• The Power Outro: "Now I know how to keep time" is a great double entendre. "Keeping time" usually means staying on beat in music, but here it means capturing time, mastering it, and accepting its physical reality.
