The first poem is by me.
Time is like an illusion...
Time never stops.
Time keeps on going,
Like a river flowing by.
You try to capture it,
Try to hold it in your hands.
But like holding water,
It just slips through.
Time is like an illusion...
Doesn't slow down,
Doesn't speed up.
Sometimes it feels like it does,
But it's not true.
It's just an illusion.
Time is like an illusion...
Milliseconds, seconds,
Minutes, hours,
Days, weeks,
Months, years.
Those are not real.
Just made up by us,
to try to harness time.
It doesn't work.
It's just a well formed illusion.
Time is like an illusion...
Because you can't always tell what it is.
Real time is nature time.
The seasons, the moon, the waves.
And real time is life.
Friends, family,
Love anger,
Birth, death.
Those things aren't illusions.
But time is.
Time is like an illusion...
Because it won't stand still for us to see what it is.
Time. Illusions.
Live your life. Time won't wait.
What does your life hold? No one knows.
Only time...
Will tell.
And this is Ilona's poem!
A White Persian Cat-Cloud,
Eyes shut tight,
Creeps along the stars at night
Like silver pebbles set upon
Rich velvet vanishing at dawn.
When it reaches the moon, brimming with milk,
It laps it up with tongue of silk.
It does this until
The moon is empty, for someone to refill.
The milk is replenished a bit at a time,
Then garnished with a wedge of lime.
The cat is pleased, and then, only then,
It stalks back towards its starry den.
