Have you ever slipped through a void of time
That’s different to this of yours and mine?
For time is neither friend nor foe, time is neither fast nor slow
Time is life, time is death, time is now in every breath
Time is past and yet to come, a standing stone in time alone
A marker bright, a message clear, that only those who know will hear.
There are those whom come and those whom go
There are those whom watch and those whom know
There are words and riddles handed down, hidden truths never found
Time is all and nothing at all, a fleeting shadow cast on a random wall
A cloak, a shroud within the night
Killing and curing, revealing all
Time is an illusion, a saddled shore
A perfumed breath, a whisper of more
A shadow that comes, a shadow that goes
A written tale on an illusionary wall
Waiting for time may be too long
Singing for time may be the wrong song
When the spoken word is spoken no more
It is the waves of time that still kiss this shore
A vampire’s kiss in an illicit dream
Time’s fleeting reality is not what it seems
When the talons of time no longer bind
Will freedom then be yours or mine?
But do not wonder, do not you ponder
The answer is there in the great blue yonder
For the riddle of time was given to me
A riddle of time near the deep blue sea
For there I saw what no one else saw
The riddle of time on a sandy shore…
