The passing of time

Slowly I open my eyes, to once again see the light of day,
The slow, tedious tick of time always drums in my ear,
Waking up to this everlasting, slowly becoming tedious fray,
I fall down back into bed, silently suppressing my inward fear.

Waking up again, I notice the tick of time lifted from me,
The ever enduring tick, always annoying, always irritating,
Gone from my life it seems, and for the first time in my life I see.
It seems I no longer have to do the long tedious fighting.

Time gave up, no longer sought to utterly conquer me,
And I just cannot figure out how this came to be.
I seek the solution as to how time gave up it's fight,
But something, a dark obstacle obscures my sight.
Suddenly my heart plunges into a deep cold ocean of fear,
What if the slow ticking that I always used to hear,
Was that which showed to me that I was alive?

I tear my consciousness away from this depressing thought,
And I focus upon a whole new experience I'm feeling,
Finally, a silence that the absence of time has wrought,
And an unbelievable joy inside me, urges me to joyfully sing.

I write a song, to be a lament for the passing of time,
To honour it's tragic passing, yet celebrate it's dissolving,
To celebrate a never to return imprisonment crime,
To lament the stop of the everlasting developing.

Time is gone, away from my life, never to be seen again,
I succumb to the possibilities I gain, all the things I can,
Unbelievable how time can collapse by realising it's earth
And to life, uncorrupted by this age, it's passing gives birth.
