The Rhythm of Time

Time is .....

But the ultimate luxury

For us to savour

All of life's flavours

Yet that luxury becomes agony

When what had combusted

Burns and stains 

What is meant to live for

What is ordained to die for

When we listen

It seems superficially silent

But deep in that open air

We hear the metronome

Guiding the rhythm of the heart

Galloping us up a hill

So that we stand tall

Looking down the cliffs

Letting go,

..... of what should go

Letting past,

..... what shall come to past

Giving the narrative

In what sense we are to make

Of this colourful world

That often (life) is monochrome

But usually is melodious

Just because

We need that chorus

To reach that final chords

And strike that last note

That shall end

The rhythm of time
