Good night cruel world I wish to sleep,
To walk through billows at my feet.
Good night cruel world I wish to sing,
To sway to chords that echoes ring.
Good night cruel world I wish dance,
To feel embrace to know romance.
Good night cruel world I close my eye,
To nod my head and touch the sky.

Time is cruel.
ReplyDeleteTime is vicious.
Time is not our friend.
It taunts youth into wishing their lives away.
It races past us during the peak of our skills
and understanding,
As we turn our attention to climbing ladders -
Career,
Social,
Status.
Then, when we realize it has passed us by,
Time laughs in the face of those it has duped.
It mocks us as our eyes are opened to see all
we have missed...
and will never have the opportunity to obtain.
It gloats while watching as we beat ourselves
with regret...
For roads not traveled.
For risks not taken.
For seeds not sewn.
For love unrequited.
Time is not our friend.
