Time is like a fragile wing The Cadence which canaries sing.
Time is like a steel door Once it's closed it cracks no more.
Time is like a wooden screen Through its lattice love is seen.
Time is like a rotting wind Its stench will catch Your breath and rend.
Time is like the Posey Fair It scent will catch Black Death air.
Time's the root. It is the tree Time is still a mystery For we've Rewritten history.
From its boughs we see the Hills In its bowels we're dead & still.
Time's like an infant's crowning head Then like a game. A child's dread In full flower we are wed We have the happy child instead In our season we are dead.
So hold time like a fragile lace Water in a Dresden vase. Cup it like a Lover's face Watch it dance with ballet grace. It's there... then gone without a trace.
The clock is backward, sweeping right It starts it's journey in the night It won't give up without a fight The hands are sweeping Small and slight It will end within the light...
It moves now with blinding speed Through this poverty and need Where the few are rich by greed They are then more ****** indeed As they plant their golden seed It crops up a vile ****.
In the west the rising.sun And with this the day"s begun On its axis Earth is spun In the east the day is done Then noontime comes, It's course is run
The time now is 12:01...
I know the last stanza is a bit confusing. Everything is so backward now though. I thought of the clock going backward. Instead of the time of the end of the world as 11:59, I'm thinking of it is 12:01. It's almost high noon folks.
