Time's Oblivion

First, I think the title is marvelous. In the beginning, when told of friends passing away, I thought of time as obliterating all. But later in the poem I came to a different idea, as both the memories of, and the statement of being a part of history, are beyond the confines of time, given to a single life.

I thing the poem is beautiful and well put together. A couple of suggestions, on the last line of the first stanza think about 'is' as an alternative to 'of'
Maybe,
"glory and gory
have short lives only" should be a stanza on their own, the same as
"Glory and Grief
are relatives" is a stanza on its own.

the ending,
"soonly
fadingly
till such time
Abide with me" was both soothing and evocative.

what can I say, I thing it's beautiful.

the [ly] on both soon and fading, it seems rather like affecting an Old English connotation, when the rest of the work does not. I see merit in the way that tyro has set up your poem. If I may?

Today is someone's
birthday
a gift of a poem
of his today

Glory and Grief
are relatives

Two of my poetry fans
and mentors
passed away in sleep
but I don't weep

Glory and Gory
have short lives only
I too will
a part of history be

Soon
fading
Until such time
abide with me

Yes, we all must pass on from this world and hopefully, some will remember us. Nice work, ~ Gee.

What can I say. ... I like it, just like is. It spoke to me. Nicely penned.

I'm sorry for your loss, lovedly. this is a sweet poem. gory and glory. I agree with tyro, "till such time, abide with me," was a nice way to welcome your reader into your world.

I'm getting too lazy to put the ly on the end lol. I liked this one. the message of glory and life both being fleeting is clear. It takes older folks like you and I to realize that a half century can pass in a blink.......stan

This is one of your best! Your brilliance precedes you!

Hi Lovedly
I stop by again. I think, firstly (notice my ly) it is the deep feeling which carries this poem, coupled by the introspection which it generates. What takes me most is the clarity, and continuity. I like this style in you.
