Swing

The pendulum, 
                        itself has various 
                        mood swings, as
                        time can be swift
                         or dramatically 
                         slow. Time can 
                        compliment one
                       through the years
                       or be wearing on 
                      one or many. With 
                   each swing, time can 
               remain an ally or become
             each mans foe. There is no 
           essence of time, but rather an
         observance and appreciation of 
          the power of time. Watch it with 
                             awe and 
                              stay on 
                             its good
                                side.
          For when the bell tolls, you’ll 
           want a chance to get away.
