Time 2

T wo
I ndependent
M oving
E lements
-
Are all you need for

TIME
-
One to go
One to stay
-
There you have the start of a day
-
This may sound too simple
For those who would dwell
For hour after hour
On theories more swell
-
But I have this feeling
That if all should stop
There’d be nothing to measure
For my dear old clock
-
For before there was movement
Then nothing took

TIME

Just a mighty great
One thing
-
Stuck in its prime
-
Pure separation
It would seem was the crime
-
That put us in
Motion
Sent us off down the line
-
But where it began
Well
Now there’s a thought
-
That must have been
Where
We left
The first nought
-
Since then have we travelled
(Our worlds if not us)
For considerable periods
-
Dust into Dust
-
So long has our travel
Since that point been
That now we all live
A continuous dream
-
No past and no future
Just present it seems
Everything joined
With no gaps in between
-
But
TIME
Is the one thing
We cannot divorce
From our life on earth
A formidable force
-
Yet though it’s quite simple
To see TIME extends
It’s considerably harder
To know
Where it ends
-
We cannot begin
With our minds to discuss
That complex question
-
How
TIME
Affects us
-
For the nature of
TIME
If Man ever could know
Would shatter his dreams
And his mind
In one blow
-
But one thing within us
Would still then remain
-
Untouched
Unblemished
-
Not aged
-
Just the same
-
Born from a place
On which
TIME
Has no claim
-
That essence
That freedom
-
Which dwells in our frame
-
Our Spirit
Our Being
-
Known just

By

Our Name
