The die is cast to die at last Envision the vast everlasting We live in the past too fast Forward-fast future impasse Intentions to pass and repass Notwithstanding
Elusive are the ticks of tock That take place in the mind Marinating for meaning And a design to define in art Whether it be mind or it matter At an epoch that unlocks where life starts
Present, past, future tense Beginnings and endings Instantaneous events The secret of the clock Is that it can never count The mystery of the sands Remains on higher ground
Wait a second, forever and a day Columns of sand pillars wasting away With a time well spent in thought Immortality and perpetuity Illusion of continuity Momentary lapses of universal ambiguity
