Borrowed Time

The air I breathe,
the blood that flows

The light that shines,
the voice that knows

The question asked,
the answer stoned

Tomorrow sold
—today on loan

I think if we use each one correctly then time will loan us another one. When we are no longer constructive, he takes them all back.
