If You Could Speed Up Time (Where Else Would You Rather Be) - Prelude

Like a remote

Controlling human objectivity

It would be a rare blessing in disguise

If You Could Speed Up Time (Where Else Would You Rather Be)

It's an intriguing question

For anyone

Who's a true daydreamer at heart

Why befriend reality

When life's pendulum

Is constantly swinging & moving

If You Could Speed Up Time (What Else Would You Rather Be Doing)

With your life

If the second to last line

Is a preview of what's next to come

From within the confides

Of a poets unfinished written mind

wow.. you left me thinking for a while, great piece!

[Dana Alsamsam]

no please i don't want time to speed up! now more than ever i'd like it to slow down. i'd like there to be more hours in the day because there are so many things to explore, but as you say life's pendulum is constantly swinging and we have to take every moment for what it is and really make the most of it. i like this one a lot! there are some powerful words in here, great work!

Why befriend reality
When life's pendulum
Is constantly swinging & moving...

I like the wording of this question - and the image of life's pendulum...

I am in no hurry to speed up time, which goes too fast already - but there are places I would love to see before that time runs out...

Interesting question and with a little qualification and easy one for me to answer. If I could control time and space, I know exactly where I'd be. Alas, I struggle with the control of time and space.

I don't want to speed thru time...but everytime i see England on tv...i tend to yearn for my birth land...so since i have relatives there who i love and miss i would say i would love to live in England.

since i no longer go to school or work for a living and have only my retirement to consider, i can think of no reason to speed up time other than to use it to get through those damned commercials on tv. i am in the mellow out and enjoy every moment you have phase...clever poetry though. very good!
