Timeless and Time

Blithe with the bliss of the morning, The clock is ticking; the hours are whirling by, The past increases, the future fades, Possibilities and opportunities decreasing, Regrets and plea for second chance very visible. Time is an illusion and a factor, Exactly what humans want the most, Yet, it’s what they use worst. Many have wondered if they could kill time without injuring eternity, But gawkily, and without their consent, time passed. The earth is spherical, Many people are living while others exist in it, I have forged my own path with time, There's no past and there's no future, Because time is a very misleading thing, A static factor moved by the minds of men, All there is ever, is the now and I’m living for it. We can gain experience from the past, We act sometimes as if we are moving too fast, Yet, can’t balance time and space. I believe time is precious, But truth is more precious than time, I tell you, Time reveals the truth, And only the wisest are the most annoyed at the loss of time. Know it that a clock is man-made, And it slays time more than we can imagine, So, time is dead, As long as it is being clicked off by the swings of the pendulum; Therefore, only when the clock stops does time come to life.
