Time

TIME


On leaden feet.....on wings
She falls....she springs

Sleeps  when you enjoy
Laughs at you when pressed

Conscious time....unconscious time.
Against you.......on your side :

Running out in cowardly
Yellow  years  streaming by;

Or a boxer  with green seconds
Drip dripping  to the bell
