Time moves like the rising tide
Slow but unstoppable force
Time spreads like the ocean wide
Subtly ever changing course
Time creeps like a stalking cat
Sneaking up when no one sees
Time frays like an old straw hat
Losing pieces to the breeze
Time comes like a doorbell’s ring
Paths converging now and here
Time goes like a northern spring
Slips away until next year
Time always marked and measured
Synchronizing rhythm, rhyme
Time can’t touch moments treasured
Experiences not bound by time
Walk through rays of time with me
Dust-filled sunbeams in a wood
Feel the breath of memory
Wind through trees so long have stood
Listen to the past run by
Gurgling brook of mountain rain
Watch as sun and shadows fly
Clouds blow in and out again
Hear the sounds of evening near
Nesting bird calls in the trees
Count the points of starlight clear
Pure and timeless, silent breeze
Bid another day farewell
Wrapped in glorious vivid hue
Taste the moon’s great lustrous spell
Against twilight’s deepening blue
Sit so still that we can feel
The rotation of the world
Time and space now centered here
Present, past, and future swirled
