Beat the Clock

Time is a comedian
Spinning you round
Until you've riped to old age
Kidnapped and held against your will
Alas, you look around
The final show, the last act
You realize what time has done to you

Its audience bursting into laughter
In synchrony to your regretful chorus
A recap flashes before you
Not of memories, but of emotion

Anything significant is but an impression
Marked not by your heart, but of time
It made you forget, made you nothing
An empty traveler wandering into the endless abyss

At the end of it all
Time stares at you
Looking for your soul
Hoping to make a joke of such
But tis already gone
Split into pieces

The last laugh is yours
Timeless in those who love you.

  1. time is like G-force - it goes faster and faster as we get closer to the coffin

    time is like rabbit in the wonderland - we keep chasing what never turns back, until we realize how much beauty we've missed along the way

    time is like dark chocolate with blueberries, we always want just a little bit more...
