Chains of Time

I am amalgam of body and mind

bound together by intangible Time

an essence which I cannot touch

yet still I sense its onward rush.


Time tethers me behind its bars

of light from all the countless stars

scattered far as they have reached

since the Big Bang was unleashed.

 

Soon I will unlock the clasp

which keeps me chained in Time's tight grasp

see through Time's tick-tock mystery

no longer a Time-bound entity

free

The write was philosophical

Chains of Time can't be broken. We must learn to be comfortable in the confines of time. No use whining. We just can't win. Time is a good friend but a hard taskmaster but the Best Teacher. Enjoyed the write.
