Reflection On Time

There are times I soar 
Feeling on the top of the world
And yet there are times 
When I cry and feel so low
There are times when I need to explore 
These are the times I move 
Deep into my very core
There are times that really bore
These are the times when I find it a chore!
Time heals all wounds
Or so the saying goes
Time opens that third eye 
That sees so much more
Time has a strange way 
To measure all these emotions
Since when did time cause 
So much commotion?
The sound of silence 
Interrupted by a ticking clock
Time is once again running amok!
