How do you measure time in and around yourself? Or, is time as invisible and artificial as other sensations we assimilate? How much of the present are we prepared to abandon? Time and thought cannot be measured in the present, yet we have made them two of the pillars of our existence. Why?
Made Of Time
Tell me why is time and why is space
And why we swim them bound by grace
Rescued on the ladders of our languages
While mathematics grins its soundless face
Flirting with our senses as though our lover
While all the time attentive of some other
Weighing burdens in the cities of our thinking
While we dream excursions or escaping
Tell me of the forces keeping us on grounds
The gravities of lights and air bound sounds
All thriving in the mysteries of galaxies
Spinning, asking if their destinies are found
Tell me why we think with patterns made of time
So I can know beyond this universe’s mime
Made Of Time is the new collection of inspirational poetry from Theophanis Kleanthous, author of Drying Naked (ISBN: 9781785891366).
