Infinite Time
(Dialog of Oneness)
I
What is time my friend,
"Is it real or man's creation?
Does it move, does it run?
Or is it just a mean justifyind an end?"
A glorious metric, an obsession
Of man, a game for us to have fun.
II
Well, look, is time infinite?
So many say, "that truly it is;
But if it is, then it has no beginning."
So many say, that is truth, definite;"
But time with no beginning has no end.
"Is it, then, an endless media that we miss
Its attribute, if it has a meaning?"
III
For it is infinte, a true dimension;
Is as a big chalkboard we write on
Only our perceptible actions.
Infinite, a motionless sensation
As a road for us to walk on our own
This chalkboard not divided in fractions.
IV
As motionless, it is standing still,
A perfect thought of an Eternity,
But when I look at the sky, my sensation
Of peaceful state of mind's mill
Grinds time away from infinity
Everything passing slowly in its dimension.
V
"So, why we say we have not time
If time indeed does not exist?"
Yes, it does, but only in our minds.
"No, not true; there are clocks as mine
Measuring seconds, how can these twist
If it is part of formulas of all kinds?"
VI
Look, just think of this for a moment;
Eliminante Motion and Space from the world
Can we, then, still perceive the time?
For time to tic tac, we must have movement
And ample space to act, to move and swirl;
With no Space and motion, clock don't chime.
VII
"So, what is time, that we worry much about?"
Time is a relational metric used to measure
Our perception of motion in our space;
But, there is motion, with no time, I shout,
And with no motion, not even for pleasure
Time exists as panacea for our amaze.
VIII
"Could it be that time is the essence of motion?"
Motion does not depend on time, if you observe.
Motion requires space to freely move;
And space does not need either or portion
Thereof; time describes the extent motions deserve,
The extent of life appearance, time only proves.
IX
"How can that be, Time exists or not?"
It is a measuring tool and nothing more
To the length of life, extent of existence
Of something perceived, sensation mind brought
The concept of lasting, prescence, life and so for
I say this to satisfy your curiosity, your insistence.
X
"So, if time does not exist, what do I do without it?"
Keep doing what you do, don't worry about time;
Control your actions, for time you cannot control.
Control the energy you put in your action bits;
Forget about efforts; it cost you not a dime
Forget about the tic tacs; they are not your patrol.
XI
"Surrender not to time mirage of embrace
For once hugged by it you cannot disengage.
You're enslave by the tic tac of chiming clock,
Unconscious by the beating of it its tic tac mace
That grows, stronger as we grow with age
Wraping us in panic, stress that our mind block.
So, My friend, that 's time, just a measuring clock
The 'lasting' of our actions, the presence in space.
