TIME

TIME ……………………………………
Just a second,, give me a minute,, do you have the time?…
I have heard these phases on many occasions,,
Time,, it is so precious to us,, and yet we let it slip away,,
I have no time for you now,, I’m running late,,
just a moment please...

Time,, time,, we should give it its due,,
for we have so little to spare,,
It is constantly in motion,, we can see it upon the dial,,
and of the shadows that are cast...

Time,, time,, we love it so,, and yet we can not sow it,,
or grow it,,
It is beyond our grasp,, hold it a minute,, hold that thought,,
I’ll be right back,,
We curse the time we spend in line,, and praise it when
we are ahead of it...

Time,, time,, it forever unravels,,
of only memories it leaves behind,,
Forever do we chase it,, forever do we waste it,,
such a limited amount we have,,
Time it flies,, and time takes forever,, we divide it,,
and divide it again,, and again,,
We measure it,, we clock it,, we watch it go by,,
in jars of glass and sand we watch it fall...

Time it is said,, “waits for no man”,, it is master of us all,,
We arrange it,, we schedule it,, can you give me more time??

Time,, time,, we watch it go,, until the midnight hour,,
When the watchman comes for us all……………………………
