Time

Stands still

For no one

It may linger

In passions moment

Or solar eclipses

It moves injuries to heal

And broken hearts to fix themselves

Pulverizing mountains into grit

So we can quantify the sands of time

The continuum of experience

Use this indefinite period

Take pure love to eternal heights

Make time to smell the roses

In this fourth dimension

Relish in moments

Accomplish goals

Remembered

For all

Time
