Time

Minutes pass like the slow falling grains in an hourglass. 
Days fade away like the clouds of spring showers in early May.
Time goes on though you may not hear the ticks.
With mysterious design
Time; one of nature’s best tricks. 
Some of us move forward,
Others stuck in the past.
Though we must be quick to make a move,
For this moment could be our last.
Seconds waste no time like the beating of my heart.
Hours can seem torturous.
Those who are impatient would rather be torn apart.
Your life may end when expected or suddenly,
But remember time doesn’t stop for you,
Neither will it for me.

Strong metaphysics in this write Andrea - good customization on a classic theme, no simple task, no slight accomplishment - the heart is a very efficient instrument - the 10th line has magic in it - J.A.B. %

Thanks for all of the appreciation. Yes a classic theme I tried to put a simple but truthful twist on and didn't mention a thing about it healing as many people do. Not saying it is a good or bad thing just glad I felt I had more to say other than that I guess. But thanks again Justin!

Thank you, it just comes to me. I hear the first 2 lines in my head and then next thing I know I have my yellow notebook out and my pencil is just flowing uncontrollably. I love it.
