Time

Time is such a funny thing
It's here and then it's gone
The things that seemed important then
were not for very long

The memories that I recall
when looking back in time
seem more like someone else's life
not something that was mine

The people that have come and gone
the places where I've stayed
are fading like the setting sun
and seem as far away

As days melt into weeks and months
and years slip quickly by
I wonder where the time has gone
and as I wonder why

Another minute disappears
Wait! I cry out loud
But time will wait for no one, and
I'm quickly running out

To look for what we can not find

There is no time

for the mind

to whisper in silence

crouched

in anticipation

for flight

and to do

what no man
