Finite Moments
Numerous realms to discover
Yet, time remains limited
Abundant knowledge to acquire
Yet, time remains limited
Profound emotions to experience
Yet, time remains limited
Countless faces to encounter
Yet, time remains limited
Oh, time, you are stern
Why must it be so?
Why does existence fade
And not perpetually glow?
Yet, time remains limited
Abundant knowledge to acquire
Yet, time remains limited
Profound emotions to experience
Yet, time remains limited
Countless faces to encounter
Yet, time remains limited
Oh, time, you are stern
Why must it be so?
Why does existence fade
And not perpetually glow?

Author's Note
"Finite Moments" explores the juxtaposition of the vast possibilities that life offers with the inherent limitations imposed by the fleeting nature of time. The verses delve into the recognition of numerous realms, the pursuit of knowledge, the embrace of profound emotions, and the encounter with countless faces, all within the confines of a finite existence.
The poem contemplates the stern and unyielding essence of time, prompting to question its relentless nature. The rhetorical inquiry delves into the philosophical quandary of why existence, with all its richness, must fade rather than perpetually glow.

I believe time to be infinite you will probably live many lives who is calling the shots I am unsure of but your memories have been erased you are left with fragments of what was you ever notice how some have no gut instinct it's because they are newlings they have no point of reference I sense you do...

I agree with you, Crimsin. Sometimes I have access to knowledge I have never learned, and I'm convinced that these occurrences are remembrances of past lives.

We are flickering candles,
inhaling in a deep breath
the enormity of the cosmos.

The rhythm of your awesome poem makes me literally feel time flying bye. But I think the way we spend our time is much more important than the amount of time that is given to us. A live filled with love and compassion is never in vain no matter whether it is short or long.
