The Wheel of Fleeting Time
You laid your voice down
For all to hear,
You wrote some poetry
Ago a year,
It's difficult to comprehend
What happened to that time,
That moment
You could have said:
“This time's mine.”
Wedged in between a period
Like a molecule
In a lump of steel,
The time to wrote this song
Will be gone with the wheel,
The wheel of fleeting time
Caught somewhere in the atmosphere,
Before you know it,
Gone will be a year, then another year.
(Reproduced pretty well word for word from a slice of juvenilia I wrote and recorded when I was 18 years old.)
