Time

There are times when time drives us mad.
There are times when time leaves us behind.
There are times when time runs out,
It takes hold of us and squeezes us tight.

There are times when time brings us joy.
There are times when time makes us smile.
There are times when time fades away.
Then we stop and watch it go by for a while.

There are times when time jumps in.
It takes hold of our lives and turns upside down.
There are times when time can’t help but cause mischief.
When it can’t help but spin our heads around.

There are times when time makes us so light.
Like a leaf blown along the wind.
We flow along its twisted paths for eternity,
For time truly has no end.

There are times when time makes us feel heavy.
When it gives us the weight of the world.
There are times when time pulls us forward,
Until we are no longer just one boy; just one girl.

There are times when time makes us feel older.
So ancient it seems we are ash.
There are times when time makes us feel younger.
So young, so bold, so rash.

There are times when time gives us love.
It gives passion, and pain, and hope.
There are times when time gives us darkness,
Leaving us to whimper and grope.

There are times when time gives us death.
Something we all go through sometime.
There are times when time gives us life,
Every minute of our lives.

There are times when time brings us light.
It gives us a world made anew.
There are times when time gives us shadows.
Still, glimmers of hope are not few.

There are times when time gives a whisper,
A faint echo in the dark.
There are times when time gives a call,
Resonating deep in the bottom of our hearts.

There are times when time will fill us.
It will pull us along unrelenting.
There are times when time will slow,
Until time is hardly worth spending.

There are times when I look time in the face,
And all it does is stare.
There are times when time gives us the power,
So we hate, we love, we care.

Those times I believe time is foolish.
Why should it trust us?
We are nothing more than humans
Caught up in times’ rush.

But what do I know?
After all, I’m a mere human too.
There are times when time picks us up
And carries us our whole lives through.

There are times when time lifts our hearts,
And we fly like a leaf on the wind.
And thus we stay for eternity,
For time will never end.
