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!
