Time.

The only thing we have.
The only gift that's ours to give.
It grows with interest
the more we live.
A conundrum,
currious.
When given thought.
The longer we live
the shorter we've got.
You cannot sip it
in little tastes.
Savoured slow
is just a waste.
Though there's less
at every drop.
It must be gulped
and this,non-stop.
For time is lifes'embrace.
A precious gift
to human race.
Though as we race
the more we lose.
If while racing
we don't stop to choose.
to slow wright down
see the day.
Enjoyy the momments
as they slip away.

Thanx for peekin in. Time is my friend and enemy. Never enough and wanting more I burn the candle to the floor. there to find another wick. staring up, demanding. It is what must be now, and so it goes until some how the war for time is lost again. And I remember when it took forever for tommorow to come!
