Time Such a vexing thing Such a mesmerising prospect Time turns towards our trials, our tribulations Our tantalizing treats told in tender tales Time The end, the beginning The wheel forever spinning Forever moving forward Forever moving on Forever All things end, but do they really? Though all you see is all you know Connections thrive aplenty The greats, the ancients, Da Vinci, Cleopatra They all live on in the minds of the present Remembered by many, not truly lost Nothing is lost Time Time brings love, laughter, joy Death, sadness, suffering, pain, life Life is pain Life is love Life is death But after everything life ends Some end dramatically, with blazing fanfares Others depart with whispered words But all are remembered Not truly lost Nothing is ever lost Time Life’s eternal cycle forever turns Inescapable pain forever Time The cruel master of us all Time is money? Not even close Time is pain Time is infinite, unending forever cycling pain Time People People live through pain They create love, laughter, happiness, joy Time gives them pain and they push it back Pain everlasting, pain ever growing People ever living, People persevering Time Pain Life Death It all comes down to people People People like you, people like me People like all those who live life while they can People who couldn’t Time Time gives life Time takes life Forever cycling Never ending Pain Pain unending Pain everlasting People Suffering Enduring All of it ends in life So go forth and live
