Intractable, invincible,
Relentless, unstoppable,
Inexorable, inescapable, unavoidable,
Time…
Youth fades as the dew falls,
Seasons come and go,
Life can last for a minute, an hour, a day,
A week, a month, a year, a decade,
But never… forever…
As things are now.
Time takes its toll:
We can run the race,
Keep up the pace,
But when our time is up,
Our place in space complete,
Our life on earth replete,
There is no escape.
Our golden years are all too short
And autumn leaves must fall
Until spring’s new shoots take bud
For a spectacular new birth.
