Time

Time

Time passes by without rhyme or reason
So slowly when you’re waiting
Too fast when you’re where you want to be
The essence of everything
Sands falling through the hourglass
Seconds of your life ticking away
Almost without noticing
A single breath, a single tear
Our lives barely a scratch
On the enormity of time
Minutes filled with laughter
Hours of sorrow, fear
Days of trying to find what’s right
Wishing time would pass by
Years of searching for that one place
That one moment in it all
When you can be at peace, serene
Content that your life is complete
Do we ever stop to see what’s happening now?
Or do we spend too much time longing
For this moment to pass
To see what’s on the other side
While our lives slip away before our eyes
Never understanding
That time is all we have…
