    Clock of Life


    A field of dreams
    Beneath me flows
    While will-o-wisps
    In windy seas blow

    Scattered with rocks
    A brook babbles low
    Flowing into stillness
    I watch it slow

    Scenes keep twisting
    Never the same
    I could try to slow down
    But how would I change

    Would I be twisted
    Could I be strange
    If I could stop it
    Do I want to stay the same

    Time is the enemy
    Whether slow or fast
    Life will always change
    History is always past


    My field of dreams
    flows far away
    The brook that babbled
    Dried up yesterday

    Time has been kind
    My life has gone slow
    My coffin is lined
    time for me to go

    I will think of you fondly
    while I soar through the sky
    Remember me kindly
    It was a lovely day to die

    They say that there is no time it's only our inability to percieve everything at once. That everything has already happened and yet not at all. So we are all alive and all yet to be born, and all of us are already dead as Sylvia Plath.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
