time puts a damper on life's fulfillment.
pain reminds us not to make mistakes twice.
we build fortresses o'er our happiness,
to not lose faith in route to psychosis.
we put up a tough front; inside we're shy,
time and again we find ourselves saddened,
refusing to reach for what we wish for,
understanding this wish can never be.

I guess I've always been fascinated by time, luminosity. I have clocks all over the place and wear a watch.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting . . .

I guess we're all programmed to watch time - we just don't do it when we're young.

Still my friend, somethings are timeless...
they never really go away or die.
