The Face of Time
Listen to poem:
the face of time stands
still beyond yonder silence
its breath like ice strangulates
its presence stifles
all men must stop before it
as time wonders aimlessly
time balances all wills
eternities keep marching
like soldiers on their parade
coherent structures
falling into the abyss
now only ashes of time
after all succumb
father time carries no wounds
capturing its prisoners
all bow before time
we exist within its realm
held captive in existence
no time left to rot
slipping into not being
who will remember my name?
oblivion comes
only a second in time
thus I am not here no more
