Time is the cosmic beat
The length of life’s yarn
It is the harbinger of change
That leaves rude etchings on the face
...
As the day ticks away into twilight dusk
The Sun in fathomless waters will plummet
The Earth will then wear an assassin's mask
This in endless succession shall repeat
...
I feel the thrill of a naughty kid
when the spray of lashing waves
falls in sprinkles all over
soaking me from head to foot
...
Petals fall, wheels roll
How swift is the flight of time
Lifting the veil of my translucent memory
...
We are granted a fixed quantum of time
Each second passes with a silent chime
But like a strident alarm clock
Time impinges on us like a loud knock
...
There stood a castle on the summit of a hill
Now fallen to decay, hidden among bushes wild
It perched like an eagle’s nest among the hills
Once owned by a Lord, gentle and mild
...
