Time is..

Time is a vicious guide
It carries us along without our consent
And over rapid falls to our ultimate death
 
Time is a companion
It grips us with grief and with love
So we can have courage when push comes to shove
 
Time is a deceiver
You think you have it all until it is gone
Then you look back and think “where did i go wrong?”
 
Time is a crutch
To hold us up when we are in a slump
We rely on it’s convenience while wishing to throw it away as junk
 
Time is a formidable foe
It stares us down in a match of wit
And pulls the trigger when it deems fit
 
Time is a lesson
That tests our patience, our knowledge and will
But it is always hungry and never seems to fill
 
Time is a bittersweet gift
It delights us and yet it leaves us dissatisfied
Like when children don’t get exactly what they want and then cry
 
Time is a unending epic
The heroes are few and the climax lasts forever
The penman must think that his story is so very clever
 
Time is a virus
Leaving us with a sick feeling in the pit of our bellies
We misplace the accusation blaming the toast topped with aged jelly
 
Time is a recourse
It helps us decide where we want to go next
Leaving signs along the way to point us to the nearest exit
 
Time is a mystery
It’s complexity too hard to fathom with a finite mind
Like a chameleon it shifts and shapes our world sublime
