Out Of Time

A poem.

The clock goes tick tock on the walls

The stars change alignment each day at sunfall

All reminders of the passage of time

That never goes back, though it leaves behind

Memories of what’s forever lost to the past

Relationships broken and eternally outcast

Material and immaterial things which have went

To another place, a certain fate to cement

Sometimes, one must race against the hours

As pendulums swing and prospects look dour

When situations change and deadlines come close

One’s destiny could lie on how a factor grows old

But the motion of chronology isn’t all gloom

Without it, horrid events would always stay doomed

Some things get better and others get worse

Without temporal shifts, we’d all be cursed.
