Time

3/4/25 "Time" People often rat pack Quick to have the last laugh It's a sad fact That we never could get past that Time is something we can never have back Few heed the forecast Torches pass Opposing forces clash Since the prehistoric past Waters roaring Weather storming Gases forming Among all the forking paths Time continuously soaring fast Even before there was Pterodactyl's Always looming in the distance like an Ant hill Weighing heavily on the mind like an anvil Can't fix what can kill with just an Advil Time never at a standstill Close by and in light years Voices calling in my ear It's quite clear Why fear? In the end we all die here Eventually our time's near Thank you for the nice talk Push through when life is colder than an ice block Don't give up, even if it's quite the shock Something you can't just write off That we can't fight the clock Because never does time stop It's not all about prize winning Don't spend it all wine sipping Be true instead of lying and tricking Try swimming instead of ending it by quitting While living Endlessly time ticking You don't always need night vision Look hard to find what is quite hidden Make the best of your life and live it Only so much time is given It held true, not just wrote in rhyme Wasn't always going fine Until I had a sober mind Changes occurred over time Throughout life Always will be ups and downsides It took awhile, but peace I found by A cowhide below the cloud line Where birds all around fly Instead of trying to doubt why Now I Am of a sound mind Could say it was overdue and about time Energy and moving objects may collide It all relates to state of mind So don't be afraid and whine Reach new heights then take the climb Be strong so you can break the ice Stay sharp as the blade of a knife Beside the age of a tide While you can have a whale of a time More to life than red wine And dead guys (money) Hold your head high Give it all your best try In order to withstand the test of time
