Slideshow

If time were a camera
   the slideshow would be endless.
Every second, every moment
   would be marked in pictures.
Picture perfect minutes,
   birthing life, thriving, changing,
   in constant motion of war or peace.
In lieu of history,
   we'd piece together
   random finds.
Gleaning through time's remnants
   we guess and prophecy its outcome.
Existence before and after
   to be rewritten as we learn more.
Time is only our creation
   as the Creator knows all
   and we are merely pawns
along the path
   of time forgotten
   in the slideshow of life.
