Selected Poem:
A Thief of Time
A thief of time slips gently among the sleepers.
Stealing time…
The old ones awaken, bewildered,
Asking “Where have my years gone?
Only yesterday, I was a young and sturdy man!”
“Only yesterday, I was a young and beautiful woman…”
They call, their voices ringing through space.
How can we catch the thief of time?
He slips invisible, unseen through the shadows of the night.
The thief of time, weighed down by all those stolen years,
Disappears into the stillness,
His mocking laughter echoing across the void.

Love that poem. Have heard it a number of times, but it never gets old, ….as time steals away, every single day….
Thank you, Annie. Much appreciated.
A lovely reflection on how life goes by. By the time we realize we haven’t lived fully, it’s late. Time flows like a river, no one can hold it in fist. Poem just flows, makes one wistfuland smile
This poem is a master piece , thanks to you , but belonging to the whole mankaind.
Thank you, Mk. The poem has been so popular and moving to so many.
This poem is among many reasons i chose to be member of this world poetry society. I didn’t have an international credit card to make my payments for the register. I had to ask Christie my friend in USA to make a payment for me so that i could join in and its been years by now felling so engaged by this fascinating group of people sharing their talented work to promote peace through universe. Long live world poetry family

but the mind is to live
a mind of calmness
pursue love
peace
