Meditations on Time

Wed, 12/31/2014 - 08:52 -- mika85

When I was a child I saw with wide eyes-

Peering upward, observing in silence

And covered my heart with a thick, dark guise

A life that consisted of reliance

 

Caught between words that were sharper than knives

They flew in the air with unfailing wings

And settled on high shelves, ruining lives

I thought the future marked better things

 

Oh how wrong I was, only wish I’d known

Wished away time I could never regain

The future is here and the truth I’m shown

The mask I wear is based in childish pain

 

For time passes by in the slightest blink,

In my age all there’s left to do is think
