You can't see it You can't taste it You can't feel it Or smell it But it doesn't mean you Can't sense it Or Know it. A breeze of moments A one way street A steady river Always the same Always in a state of change Only moves in one direction. Youth and its expansion Age and its contraction Time swirls around us Through us Dragging us along One moment taking forever The next moment A fading light in the distant past No wonder of endings I think a lot. Yesterday 10 Tomorrow 80 Seems like forever But never really is In stacatto bits Of memory Flashes Lies Some true Some false Some recovered Some not at all. Continuity of self and I Until We are Eventually Slipping Into That black hole Of Time Like a galaxy Spiraling Down the drain...

Going Down A One Way Street
You can't see it You can't taste it You can't feel it Or smell it But it doesn't mean you Can't sense it Or Know it. A breeze of moments A one way street A steady river Always the same Always in a state of change Only moves in one direction. Youth and its expansion Age and its contraction Time swirls around us Through us Dragging us along One moment taking forever The next moment A fading light in the distant past No wonder of endings I think a lot. Yesterday 10 Tomorrow 80 Seems like forever But never really is In stacatto bits Of memory Flashes Lies Some true Some false Some recovered Some not at all. Continuity of self and I Until We are Eventually Slipping Into That black hole Of Time Like a galaxy Spiraling Down the drain...
