That Which Time Is

Though Time is something we've devised, Time's hold on us can't be revised. While Time has time to spend at will, We question Time when we distill It into time spent ill or well. It's just perception - time will tell. Time can play games within our head, It's Time we love - and Time we dread. Time gives us time to think things through, What to reject - what to pursue. And, timeliness keeps Time involved - Sufficient time gets things resolved. True, Time can grant a host of things - Good times that well-timed planning brings. And, timely words - remember when? Just simple truths, time and again. Time can expand our views to see The benefits of what might be. But, Time can proffer problems too - With time to kill what should we do? Time can befriend untimely ways That dissipate our time-bound days. Yet, Time won't dwell on what we chose, Time ventures on - not in repose. When Time slips by, or fails to wait, It's Time we tend to castigate. Despite the time we set aside Time only serves to be our guide. Still, Time can help us do our share As Time goes by with time to spare. But, Time moves on at its own rate Unmoved by time to contemplate. If we take time to stop and look, Time travels past the time we took. Yes, Time is always on the run - Time won't stand still - for anyone.
