Time

A meaning of time

TIME

So what exactly is time ?,
is it that speed at which we grow old from wence our prime ?.

How do we quantify that ineffable force ,
that condemns us to grow old and die without any remorse .

We say we "don't have time "as if we are in control ,
or when time is with us we are "on a roll ".

We can't see time or slow it down ,
from one instance to the next it can change a happy face to a frown .

Einstein would see it a different way ,
"what about my law E= M C squared? " he would say .
Does time run fast or slow ,
is it in steps or does it just flow ?.

Maybe one day someone will say we are in a time loop ,
going around and around like groundhog day , now that would be a scoop .!

When we are young and impatient , sometimes we just can't wait ,
"I want tomorrow to come to meet my new date "!
But in later years we slow down and think the days fly away ,
" Friday again ? no it can't be , I think I've lost another day "!

So it's one of life's misteries that won't go away ,
We exist in sequential "bits" , that inexorably progress without any delay .

But I can't help thinking that we are missing something that would make it all clear ,
That some magical "bullet " could take back my last lost year .!! .
