Time
Let light be
Let life in
Let man live
Let time referee
Born to a world that's sick and ailed
All head out the world to change
Time sits back pops a corn and change
As all efforts to resuscitate the world has failed
My beauty met beauties of ages afore
And learned that time did beauty hate
My first breath held the breath of mortals before
My last failure pushed hope to extinction's gate
I've lived through shaded days
Wounded by the tornado's play
Forced on both knees to pray
Knows it not I'm but dust and clay?
I lived a life whose plot was simple
And wore a face which bore a dimple
I bore a face which wore a mask
And took it off for those who asked
Many a child born hath been the world to adorn
But sin hath turned the diamond to scorn
Though time like man had come and gone
Time is here and man no more
Lovers write on time's sand
Mistakes engraved on memory's lane
Separate the lovers from each's hand
To move on and never to love again
I gave my heart, twas given back
Had to sew and put it in my chest
He said time healed all wounds with no tack
The watch-maker lied and failed the test
With band-aids and scars
I opened the forgiveness bars
Reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke my heart upon the shore
Many a man hath followed desire
Now watch the clouds cook a shower
For lust and desire hath born a fire
Faint not for hey, the sun will rise again with power
The swift did try to dance
And the strong did become stronger
But time married chance
And invited all mankind to dinner
Time once asked what I'd have him do
To keep my love, my loves and innocence
A strange request he thought and looked
'Let the story begin, ' he said 'you'll see the sense'
Through time, time's been called money
The love of money has been the root of evil's story
And time has been the storyteller
Yet many the path still follow later
Time took ambition to the moon and back
Time the foolish made rich then lack
Hell or Heaven our souls are bound
Dust and dust our bodies found
Life of earth to earth returned
Ages of ages to the Rock of Ages summoned
Dust to dust the ding dong chimed
'Wait for me! ', the one who had more to do cried
Her feet drank this river
Ten or twenty years over
The water's changed perhaps the same
But the deep-eyed girl is gone insane
Though time be harsh or time be kind We all must live in it
In all insanity retain thy mind
Time only carries out what God hath writ
The four seasons rotate their cause
Some do grow and some do die
The four seasons wave their bye
None they met remained on course
The ills of fate
The lover dead, the loved living
The heals of faith
The heart broken, the heart beating
The north-wind blew
And brought with it graces
The south-wind flew
And sorrow slapped our faces
The dead hath gone and the living mourn
All through tears could see no more
That the horizon breaks the new morn
And good or bad, day must break for sure
More than once a man had been a lamp
More than twice the lamp was put out
More than thrice envy was near about
Less than once love was in the camp
I once looked time in the face
And asked for my glory days
It turned and ran and I did chase
I gave it a run and found my place
Eager time carried my loves to rest in sand
Time had taken a large part of me
This hurt made me a better poet to stand
The sense time spoke of I finally see
Hope is lightning
Its loss is worsening
Star by star his world resigning
Twinkle by twinkle his life declining
All men sought from who they were to change
For all had spent a night in the mirror
And wished that time will turn the page
Or give them a chance to be more
Where lies the beauty
Of a bird born without wings
Where lies the glory
Of the star that barely twinks
Idle time glads and gads
Idle minds the devil's pads
The night falls and bullies my stars
Still bold little stars twinkle their eyes
All I wanted from life was to
Have a song I could sing to
A beat I could drum to
A field I could run through
As light moves faster than sound
Thy life is a music heard by thee alone
As time moves faster than life around
Thy music is read by all above
They say when a door closes
We should see the window opening
I spent my days wondering
Why the door closes, then the window bored, dozes
Time has his own private joke
As the boy becomes a man
Only to have his mind broke
And at 80, becomes a boy again
'Let light be', the maker hath said
Time stood behind and waited his turn
Till time kills time and he calls the end Let the hourglass spin and the ashes burn
Time has come, time has gone
All who was, all who is, are no more
Eternity stands and takes his turn
And tells the story of all time has done.
