I Am Time

I have two hands
and stop for no man
I am merciless,
I am cruel
I can pass by in the blink of an eye
Or take a lifetime
My speed is all in a matter
of perspective
I can create life just as fast
as I can take it away
I am wasted as often 
as I am well spent
I am time, and I shall never stop.

Nicely put! Your poem raises thoughts that come up from time to time (no pun intended)
