When stretching 'what is' along a line,
You find that the line is all of time,
A panoramic photo of its kind,
Which is not simply a point on the line,
It is a snapshot of all that's called time:
'From the original conception burst,
An incomprehensible charging surge,
Triggering the Genesis Second Hand,
From infinity's asylum of naught,
To discover it is the first Tick-Tock:
The Alpha of a zillion clicks unlocked,
Marching to a perfect cadence clock,
Without the tiniest-second thought.
Joining in a slow dance with déjà vu,
Echoing a Two-step forever tune,
But suddenly, the ages old recite
Still frames the stunned afternoon,
Freezing the phase of the moon;
Alarmed by the shocking sight,
Gasping at the inscribed sign:
-It Is The End Of The Line-.'

Omnia vincit amor

Howa! Sigi,you have capture the feeling I face each year at the time of my childs crossing.The ticking clock so unforgiving,the memories as well,the shock that washes over you as the law man comes to tell!
my heart thanks you!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I can't imagine how you must feel.

Your  words are a special  encouragement to me!

I pray that you will find peace in the midst of the sorrow.
