Time and the illusion of infinity
TIME
Is there a time limit on life or love
A sell-by date when the clock runs out
A best before without a doubt
Time is done, no scream, no shout
Finite beings whose experience is short
Fit it all in before the bell
Ringing for heaven, ringing for ***
I’m not quite done but who to tell?
Regret for the should
For the what-if and the could
Put things off until never
Blaming time and the weather
Can I go back to the start
Make the list and fill the cart
Do all the stuff I believed I should
Write my history in sand or mud
Your time is up
Your lists are long
Some things done right, some things done wrong
Try again next time
Or learn your lesson
Appreciate reality, navigate obsession
understanding the balance between desire and capability is a hard reality. Accepting and recognizing accomplishment and success is a skill worth using!
This made me feel so many different emotions. I feel like I'm about to cry from all of the things I felt and remembered. I'm not feeling so well these days, but reading this it gives me back hope! Thank you! Keep on writing, this is what the art is for.
