Seconds tick by
Quicksand-slow
Time inches forward
But I can't tell
Slow down or speed up?
I can't make up my mind
I can't wait for tomorrow
But I'm running out of time
Bittersweet time
My fear and my foe
Longing for the simpler days
Longing for a home
Waiting for everything
And nothing at all
Today we may fly
And tomorrow we fall
Temporary permanence
To stay or to go?
Eerything matters
And nothing does too
One love dies
And another one blooms
Equilibrium off-kilter
And balance upended
One thing begins
Because another one's ended
Nothing's forever
Everything's eternal
Contradictory agreement
And heavenly hell
Squalid splendor
And honest lies
What happens to the universe
When forever dies?
