no purpose,
and we have no more destinations
or events to attend;
in life, time guides and directs,
commands and performs,
is given in youth
taken away with age,
seemingly reduced,
limited,
while remaining the same;
times gives harmony and balance,
filtering lives,
protecting us from ourselves,
resting on shoulders
or in pockets,
displayed proudly by punctuality,
or rudely ignore;
in time, time corrects,
cleanses but never bargains,
or reaches a compromise,
like our politicians;
time is our mistress
but never conquers
or tries to control, yet,
we are easily seduced by her,
thinking she is ours,
and perhaps she is if we are willing
to accept the consequences
of life without time.
