Time and Death Serve the Same Master

Time And Death Serve The Same Master Time slowly eats away old people and solid rocks when heard, comes with hammer and hard knocks Shadow spirit coming within a dark misty cloud sparing nobody be they young, old or too proud! Streams flows from its onward racing unseen head desperate cries and pleas, food it's gladly fed Death and Time, ghosts riding the same sad rail each its own free agent for Heaven and dark Hell Eternity says that Time over Death is the master Hope awaits each future,does no good going faster Man fears both,so often crying sad,desperate pleas Saddened waters cast upon vast unrelenting seas! Time slowly eats away old people and solid rocks when heard, comes with hammer and hard knocks Shadow spirit coming within a dark misty cloud sparing nobody be they young, old or too proud! Robert J.

Thanks my friend. The closer I get(in old age) to the coming death the more I see it as a doorway that all must enter.

We cannot stop time, nor death! One serves the other, and they work in unison, but ultimately they both bow to the same master! ~ You face reality well, my friend! Hope you're keeping well. // paul

Doing ok now but my mother is doing quite badly. Having to face a possibility of losing her in the heart operation they will perform soon.. Life and Death, both exist in the same pod from the same Tree ....
