TIME

by Robert E. Petras on October 27, 2011 :: 0 comments

Time is a piper
but I cannot hear it.

Time is a river
but I cannot feel it.

Time is Eden’s apple
but I cannot taste it.

Time is a glacier
but I cannot see it.

Time is an inferno
but I cannot smell it.

Time is senseless
but I can always sense it.

Time is the edge
of eternity.

editors note:

Yes, dance along the precipice and thumb your nose; can’t see it, etc., so, what’s the problem? Uh, don’t trip on that apple. – mh
