I had imagined the weight of time to be as
light as the weight of your head leaning against
my shoulder...
Instead, it turned out heavier than Sisyphus'
burden.
- really???? This is one of those parts that just jump out and you have to read it again and think " how the hell did they come up with that!)
Time is spilling over from its hands like water
in a water wheel, rushing downstream like a train
to its next stop.
- and again, I love the relation to a train zooming past to how fast time is going in life.
I liked this poem becuase it describes how I feel about moving on, and how healing seems to take so much time and it os often 2 steps forward and 10 steps back, but non the less we keep trying. Only we find out that time is going so fast and it passes us by so quickly whikle we are trying to move on that sometimes it feels impossible, it seems easier to just hold on to the past and perhaps then time might be slower.
