You Can’t Hold Time

It slips from us all

People live life by begging to grasp time

But you cannot hold a waterfall for long

You can only watch

As the water slips through your fingers

Time starts far before man

And will exist long after

To it, our lives are but a show

The briefest moment of entertainment

If it was meant to be ours

We wouldn't abuse and ignore it

If we were meant to take it

It wouldn't quicken its pace

Time is not your challenge

Life is your tackle

The quicker you realize it

The more of it you'll have
