TIME

If one could travel through time,
What differences would we now find?
The simple pleasures of life,
Pushed back by troubles now rife.
The differences we see in travel,
As advancements quickly unravel.
Things are bigger, better and faster,
We over time, have become the master.
We leave in our wake the remains,
Of automobiles and planes.
Discarding just because,
Remnants of what once was.

The difference in architecture design,
From intricate details most fine.
To simple, modern and sleek,
Buildings to new heights must peak.
This clears away natural resource,
Is this the better course?

The newest and latest invention,
Does it save time or cause tension?
From cameras, computers and phones,
It’s hard keeping up with the Jones.
What’s new today, is old tomorrow,
And the banks – they love you to borrow.
But debt only causes stress,
Which we then need to address.

Imagine how your grandparents feel,
Keeping up with the changes surreal.
How things must have changed in their time,
A journey through peace and wartime.
Try to see things through their eyes,
This can only make us more wise.
Time goes by in the blink of an eye,
This we cannot deny.

What ahead in our future lies?
It’s hard to visualize.
Only as time does pass by,
Our decisions and dreams magnify.
The nostalgia from the past,
Gives memories forever to last.
Enjoy each and every day,
And let time show us the way.

Just amazing post.
Really great job!!

Thank you.

Your poem is very witty. So true what you have written. I often wonder if older people think technology has simplified life or not. You are talented @sourcherry. How long did it take you to write this poem?

Thank you. Technology to me seems to make things more complicated but I guess that's the times we now live in - everything seems more complicated. It is also a great time waster. One can spend several hours not doing much at all really. I didn't time how long the poem took me but I easily wrote it in an afternoon.

Wow! This is art! Such amazing blog to share with us, hopefully I can be as good as you,right now I'm posting my works here in steem, I hope I can be good as you someday :)

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

This poem captured my heart and the pictures sealed it's fate😊. It's a lovely piece undeniably

You're welcome sourcherry

i'm not fan of poetry but this is beautiful.
Reminds me to Opeth lyrics.

Thank you.

Dear sourcherry, I really like your way of expression and the critic, nastolgic thoughts in the poem. It made me think of another poem that I read here on steemit: https://steemit.com/poetry/@pulseinstorms/who-is-time-blackbook-5-64 If you find a parallel mind :)

Keep on going and looking forward for your next creative work.

Best,

W.Vanity

This is lovely. You are good.

Wow... I'm falling in love with your poems now..!
