If we count the time
and then divide it
will we understand?
If we erase it
and begin again
is that the future?
If we live through it
and remember
is that history?
If we destroy it
and forget
is that reality?
If we keep going
until we fall in
do we leave pieces
of ourselves
behind?
For Sue Vincent’s photo prompt, above.
A place for meditation I think.
A place for taking time out of time…
Love this interpretation, Kerfe.

More questions and no answers. Is reality only what we believe, and how many billions of reality are there?

The nature of time is slippery and moving in all directions. I like how your poem expresses that through questioning and uncertainty.

Thanks Claudia. It is. Sometimes it makes absolutely no sense at all.

That may be true. We’ve answered our questions through our action (or inaction as the case may be).
