    Time

    Mountains rise and fall,
    Days come and go
    Life is born and dies
    Under one banner, Time,
    If all we have
    Is all we're given
    Then where do we stand?
    Sometimes I think I lie
    Beneath a sky of blood,
    Where every drop of rain
    Paints me in life's death
    Other times I think I fly
    Above an earth of fire,
    Where every step
    Flays me bare,
    Still it's time that moves me
    From the burning earth 
    To horrifying sky,
    An infant caught in time
    Looped over and over and over,
    Nothing but a child to Time,
    One left, abandoned, lost
    But we can't escape, 
    We are never forgotten,
    In the end we're always found
    Under whatever lean to we've erected
    To protect us from the ravages
    Of an entity that knows no bounds
    That understand no love or pity
    That only sees an ending
    To things we never asked for
    To life we never took,
    Time so beautiful and dangerous,
    The only friend we ever keep,
    That follows us from pain to pain
    That comforts us from love to love,
    They say time heals all pains
    But we're never told
    What hand it had in beating us,
    We're never told how futile 
    Every single battle is,
    So I think now I will sit back,
    Let time play its game
    And see where I end up
    When all accounts are cleared
    And all my days have come and gone
    Then at my end
    With my two, human, hands
    I will take my due
    But force, in fire and blood,
    Time at its end will have nothing over me

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
