Time Tell Time
Time,
tick, tick it moves,
unrestrained by mortal powers,
trampling on all, silently.
Leaving some behind,
taking many along its gentle or dreary path,
for one, a fulfilled destiny,
some in regrets,
others in grandiose adulation,
Yet subjected to the change of time,
to some with open gates and palaces of passing filth,
to others, the gates are closed as enemy to time.
moments alter our state speedily,
Joys too soon mutates in this clime.
Yet Time, unrelenting.
Time, Tell Time.
to some, it appears as Friend,
to others, it veils itself in darkness as a foe,
who can appease Time?
it rushes upon us from cradle
leaves memories or takes us both away.
Leading to the paths of innumerable choices
Time,
Tell Time.
