How do time and place contrast
That time goes by but places last?
Time changes place, then time moves on
While somehow place holds moments gone
But pieces of both time and place
Are carried forward in the race
They seep within us, mixing, shaping
And unexpectedly escaping
To mold and meld with future time
To give life rhythm, tone, and rhyme
How do time and place entwine
To mark events where they align?
Abstract and tangible unite
And pieces of a story write
Then move on forward to the next
Unless preserved in mind or text
That keep past stories living on
To make a space where we belong
We mark these moments in life’s climb
Through the maze of place and time
