Time Is Nothing But a Disquiet of the Soul (My Reply to Christine's Stillness and Presence)


ggggggggggggggggggggTime is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away ggggggggggggggggggggwithout being something temporal like the beings in time.

gggggggggggggggggggg-- Martin Heidegger, Being and Time



I

sunsets and sunrises --
out of sight
my bird of youth flew.


II

with the passing of time,
the joints of my memory
start aging and aching.


III

i turn gray like Van Winkle
not just under a shady tree
but inside.

Below are the replies from my poet friends at another forum:

Loved S2 the most, though the entire write is yummy!

-- Arunansu Banerjee

I really like this series. I think it's one of your best.

-- Emusing

This is so simple, so beautiful, and so wonderfully precise.
Yes, all things change. We are the ones whose fortune it is to witness the changes and consider them.
I have the impression that you are a very sharp-eyed observer.

-- Jane Røken

I like this very much--simple with subtle. I especially liked the gray...inside--excellent image!

-- Packrat

It seems to me that the poem can be divided into two parts: one portrays the dialogical relationship between the author and Heidegger through the connection established between the title and the quote the author chose.

I like II most and the phrase of your choice:"joints of my memory."
