The Riddle of Time

Poems

Running faster and faster through time
It all seems to stand still as I lie
Yet violently passes me by
The minutes they tick by as do the years
They all blend together as the fallen road viers

Running faster and faster through time
Stuck in a sea of homeostasis
While the leaves of change ever chase us
The hours integrate within the decades
Counting as sheep within a violent hurricane

Running faster and faster through time
Will this distant lifetime just pass us by
While the clock is ever running, pushing us aside
Change is the constant so we disengage
Still, life seems as if viewing from a cage

Will these days ever take?
Will the constant change break?
Will I see my life for a change?
Will I solve this constant rage?

These days are ever running slow
One day we'll awake from this state
And wonder "Where did it all go?"

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes time seems like its going very slow, like when your at work.  But if you think about it and look back it seems to run too fast.  This is why I can never seems to find the time to do the things that I want to do.  Its a constant frustration of mine.
