Time Waits For No One

I remember seeing the intense fog over the St Lawrence—couldn’t see the other side. You can get some thick stuff there! This is a lovely capture.

lovely!

There’s always someone sitting here
every day for the last sixty years
they shuffle up and rest their bones
and wait a while before going home

they take their turn to enjoy their repose
sometimes sharing sometimes alone
They might overlap with the newer ones
vacating their place as their time comes

Who were these dwellers of this bench
why is it’s usage so entrenched
they come to wait ‘til their time is done
ironic though as time waits for no one

~
a beautiful scene, lonely eerie, saddened
it spoke to me of this tale
of many tales – I feel many a contented soul left their shell there over the years
many never made it back the next day, all of them finding solace in the peace and grace of that bench and it’s view.
Thank you for taking it at a time when the mist and dew would be clensing it for the new day and the new dweller.
I love the muted colours, the touch of red in the path & green in the grass.
Beautiful! ♥
Chookas! ♥

Exceptional composition and perspective. Misty mood is icing on the top!!!!

Great image.. maybe sad in a way.. TIME is so precious..

lovely catch

Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left of the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn’t rhyme
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you ..Moody Blues…

That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw your lovely photo Joanne…I am a Moody Blues fanatic and I know all the words to their songs…this picture is very evocative of their song called Driftwood…

Another gorgeous fog shot!!

Not fond of the Stones at all…I wish they would finally give up and quit singing the same songs over and over again… :))

Beautiful image!! Congratulations on your feature!! :D

Wonderful image,and Alyssa’s poem goes with it beautifully ,lovely work

These waiting seats are always so evocative, and this one watches the fog but is separate from it by virtue of its greater clarity.

Superb, like this a lot, well taken.
