I saw time take a pear.
No kiss touched it's golden skin,
No tooth tooth touched it's tender core.
The seed lay burried close within,
Withered like a child unborn.
I saw time take a tree,
That stood a span of nine like me,
No recourse to age or size,
Could quell it's slow, and soft demise.
I saw time take a land,
By axe and saw,
To barren sand.
For the love of life,
And lust for loss,
We take our time,
And time takes us.
