Imagine the catastrophy <br />If we could capture time in a bottle <br />Lasting would not only be delight <br />But also moments of emotional throttle <br /> <br />Imagine contemporary days and trends <br />Enduring in the Middle Ages <br />Where we would all - forever and ever - <br />Have to relive the same ol' static stages <br /> <br />Imagine yourself, living eternally <br />Even if set at your favorite age <br />And your poor mind, though tired, moving endlessly <br />While your life remained fixed on the same page <br /> <br />Oh, if the old wish of capturing time in a bottle <br />Had been granted in any possible way <br />There would have been no computers, no cars, <br />No airplanes, no internet, and no global involvement today <br /> <br />So thank God that time freely keeps flying <br />Although we might not always agree <br />For time heals wounds; guarantees living and dying; <br />And assures that progress and dynamism can be...<br /><br />Joan Marques<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-in-a-bottle-2/
