We are out of Time

We are out of time.

No time for lasting triumph,

No time to purpose our wealth.

We are out of time.

No second to spare a thought,

No moment to reflect.

We are out of time.

The constant stars gaze down

Silently watching us ground time.

We are out of time.

All of life is just a speck.

A flash, a blink-of-an-eye.

We are out of time

Like little ants,

Running

Running

Forever running out of time.

Thank you ever so much :)

Wow. Every time you said 'We're Out of Time", there's a feeling like hammer-fall. It's beautiful, especially the individual and reality/universe comparison/ relation that has been shown. It's almost...existential.

Thank you so so much! :)

A good piece with a strong message. Personally I wouldn't have repeated "we are out of time" as many times. Keep the good work.
