Have you checked the time? Happy Saturday Post to you!
Time
The great boss battle
The only constant confidant
And apathetic appetite
We all face
It does not rest
It does not care
Whether or not you befriend
Or fight tooth and nail
With unapologetic hands
Time joins in the murder
While it is still making room
For you
To be born
It will kill what you love
And beat down your petty disagreements
As if the current civilization
Or the dinner menu
Will matter twelve millenia from now
Time is ruthless
In its love
Of going on without you
Does not give back
What it takes from you
And does not laugh when you fall in the poop
Moving sluggishly faster than the speed of light
Screwing your spouse
Marking your territory
Teasing you
It wars against you
With more coldness
Than any terrorist in history
Time built them
And killed them
And wrote the book about them
Then burned down the library
And all the kings horses
And Humpty Dumpty
Mother Goose and Grimm
Can tell no Aesop Fable
To calm the God of Time
To rest
It wars a war
With us all
Some moments try to stop you where you stand. Time is tricky that way, making you think you are not moving, when the world is going on with you in its current. I reflect on beautiful and horrible (also smart and stupid) moments often. One particular moment is in the air around me a lot. I suppose it is in my air, until I take my last breath. A little heavy for a Saturday morning? Memories are beautiful, and powerful that way. And they paint pictures that I am, on occasion, able to capture and realize as art. This is my Transformation process.
