Time
And time drips away
It drips and drops
With a splatter and a clatter
To the ground
Only to bounce off with a new rebound
It slowly leaks away
Never to be seen
Until another day
Try to stop it?
Absurd!
It is as natural as
A swimming fish
Or a flying bird
Blip
Blip
You can hear it drip
It hits the floor
and runs in a rivulet
Forevermore
The spout?
You ask
Is made of man's doubt
The doubt that time will go on
Time that is supposedly man's pawn
It runs on it's own accord
Not to be mastered
By anyone
Or anything
It must be free
To sing
Its own tune
To play with fate
A dangerous game
That bends destiny
Can make you a prisoner
Or make you free
Time has no favorites
No favors
It does what it must
Its duty
To the natural order of things
It makes you old
and draws the wrinkles cross an untouched face
It makes you blind so you can see more than you ever have
It makes you deaf so you can feel everything you'll ever need
It makes you tired so you can dream of impossible things
It plays with your life
Goes fast
Goes slow
Simply runs with the flow
Of Life
