The star rises over rock: granite, limestone and feldspar Spring’s early flower awakens and is the first to bud, Somewhere out in the sky, worlds succeed in the midst of a quasar And in the ground, other worlds thrive down in the mud People hustle about, checking time for their own insurance Animals lay about, unknowing of our artificial construction Clocks enslave out actions, continually rushing our presence Perceptions of time will bring about our own destruction Spring blossoms into summer, summer fades to fall, fall decays to winter, The changing of the seasons is trying to teach us something Our mother can’t take everything against which we pit her Time does not remain static, it is never regressing, but forever coming We cannot live in a hurry, waiting for a glimpse of leisure to be caught The animals constantly remind us: time passes whether we measure it or not
