Time is Like an Illusion...

Well. This blog has been going nowhere for the past few weeks. Sorry about that. I was rather busy for about 2 weeks, preparing for the Future City regional competition. My team just missed out on going to nationals, which means that we're finally DONE. Since then, I've been busy getting my life back in order, and sleeping :) Starting NOW, expect many, many more posts than there ever have been. I will be posting at least three times a week, on various topics. I doubt that I have enough ideas to write intelligent, interesting, useful posts that often, so some of them will likely be rather goofy. If you have any post ideas, feel free to suggest them, or better yet, write them yourself! You can email me anything that you would like posted at homeschoolsara@gmail.com, or ask to become an author so you can post by yourself! If you have ideas, you can email them or leave them in the comments (any post is fine, I'll see it).


To start off this new three-posts-a-week idea, here's a poem I wrote a few years ago. It's called Time is Like an Illusion... (hence the title of this post).

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 season, 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 wont 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.
