Analysis of Time
goes the clock
Stars and planets
glide through space
as they slowly spin.
Time is just a measure
of how long things
take to change.
Sooner or later
will all be re-arranged.
Do not fear
the march of time
it waits for no human.
So make the best
of the time that’s left,
things never go as planned.
Don’t be distraught
by any thought
of pain imagined or real.
If nothing else,
time has in itself
the true power to heal.
