Temp-orality

For today’s prompt, write a poem inspired by one (or more) of these quotes about time. Feel free to use the quote as an epigraph for your poem.

“The past is now part of my future. The present is well out hand” Ian Curtis

“The timeless present is not merely a moment in time, but a quality of awareness that transcends time itself. It is the realization that the moment is, in fact, the only reality we directly experience.” ~Everyday Buddhism

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” ~William Faulkner

“Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.” ~Nathaniel Hawthorn

“Time does not pass, it continues.” ~Marty Rubin

“Arboreal-time is cyclical, recurrent, perennial; the past and the future breathe within this moment, and the present does not necessarily flow in one direction; instead it draws circles within circles, like the rings you find when you cut us down.” ~Elif Shafak
