Time

Death's mistress counts away the seconds

In its infinity all else is measured

Waiting for no one yet forever waiting

Ticking reality into and out of existence

Fickle understanding posing little resistance

An idea measured in thought

Only there if you think it

Hours, days, months, years

A countdown to the end of everything

A culmination of endless fears

There one moment, gone the next

Kept for infinity in the lines if this text

Immortality made possible by the simple act

Of leaving something behind, keeping it intact

Happiness flies by faster than thought measured in light

Sorrow slows suffering and lingers in darkest night

Pain lasting long while felicity is fleeting

Never making sense but always ticking

Ticking away the moments and memories

Ticking away life... endlessly
