Time Has No Open Channel to Despair

October 11, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is time.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

A philosophical poem about how time flows past despair:

Time has no open channel to despair.
It never empties out into that sea,
Moving down its streambed endlessly,
Ever flowing past whatever's there.
