Eternal Time
Eternal time – in minutes and days
The greater spent in foolish ways
Planning tomorrows – obsolete the moment past
Wishing for yesterdays that didn't last
Harboring dreams – no truth there told
Just glory days – redundant and old
With grey temples and sallow skin
The mirrored image reflects our sin
Time never tires, never rests –won't expire
Man's constant eclipse – this funeral pyre
Still marching in flames fueled by haste
Our strides fall short – time sets the pace
Days end – bittersweet, we suffer time go
We lived, or did we?
Was every seed sown?
Our memories linger – in various ways
But time undaunted marks their sway
Tomorrows leap onto the stage
And births new life – with brazen rage
Our space is filled – lives rendered anew
The price – perception, erased from view!
