The Measure of Time

 


We keep track of time before and after.


With time we wait, we stand in line.


In our lives, good and bad arrive and


leave in time.



Even light obeys it’s limits to shine,


186,000 miles per second. There is all


the time you need, never enough. Time


slips past us in our dreams, makes or


breaks us, lights the way it seems.



We are swept away in the rapids of time


as tomorrow cannot come soon enough


and yesterday fades away. Time and tide


wait for no man, they say.



And then it comes to pass, all too quickly,


one last step. There is no measure of time


left for that. It took 13.8-billion years in the


making to get us to this place. How much


more time is left for us to waste? Whatever


stands the test of time, only the Everlasting


shall proclaim.
