Time

The Author is anxious because as he gets older time seems to pass too quick.

Time,undaunted nor disturbed by mortal tears

How I scold your irredeemable alms

When once I danced your tempo

And assumed unblemished palms

Eagerly upon your chime you lured

With audacious delight

Briskly forth for beckoning charm

You stowed your senescent ‘neath a distant night

 

Your unscrupulous gifts of gold and grief

Then restitution as the willow dries

Bristling jewels of alluring promise

You shrouded with enigmatic disguise

Unperturbed you hasten on

Though I heave on galloping reins

Man will mourn scarce proportions

Dished from eternal plains

Papyrus of bygone glories or

Man’s dastardly deeds

History’s devoted pallbearer

Has scattered infinite seeds

 

Ramesses, Christ and Buddha’s

Did you whisper in their ear

Of secret cosmic residence for

All Mankind to endear

Whence upon twilights arrival

Under life’s shadow’s longest cast

Will I reminisce with lament or triumph

Yearning a righteous legacy cast

Alas impending untimely raps

Creatures peer from futile door

Will you bear gifts of enchanted token

And promise multitudes of more
