The Expanse of Time

Sounds nice as rhyme,

Like the advent of Spring

Post a desert clime

But, Time as expanse

Is debatable,

Best not left for views

On the discussion table.

If each one’s Time

Is defined and fixed

Then, what is expanse

A trifle mixed.

What would be Time

If we weren’t there,

Would the Sun and the Moon

Be taken unaware?

Would there be need

For nights and days,

The shining Moon

The Sun’s rays?

The expanse of Land

The Oceans and the Sky

But, Time is ephemeral

And only knows how to fly.

Can we, should we

Use this phrase

Or, from the language

Its use erase?

Time is Time alone

No contraction, no expansion,

Count it just as Days and Nights

Months and years, no further fractions.

Time is fiction, distance is the reality

That which one can measure,

The immeasurable is unfathomable

How can that be anyone’s treasure?

When Time is no more a measure.
