Time is recalibrating, days crunch together in twelves
then expand into forty-eight, then have no meaning
not in the way we all laid our schedules down
not in the way we made our hours fit our days
not in the way we made up time like we imagined it
the Sun rises and set, the Moon makes her monthly pattern
there’s sense in that, there’s a time continuum in that
~
Time is dissolving like we put it underwater to watch it
swirl in a vortex of energy pulling what we thought we knew
deeper into an unknown unseen cavern of timelessness
all the while we still think we can be on time, fill the day
while we watch the clock tick and move as if it knows
the perfection of twenty-four hours and we should too
we ‘should’ on ourselves yet again.
~
Time is teasing us just like the Sun does, shining so bright
so welcoming on a freezing day we think it might be warm
we feel a little thrill when the temperature says 28 degrees
and there He is all bright and smiling that sunny grin
what a liar that Sun is that can toast a marshmallow
that can make green lush an arid desert landscaped
Fiery bastard is such a paradox
~
Time is liar, we didn’t think so. We don’t want to believe it
we are still held to the twenty-four, it’s what we know
it’s what we count on to keep us in a timely manner of life
the clock says so. Big Ben belts out the hourly chime.
alarms ring out the hour to rise and shine to the new day
only have you noticed how out of sync the days feel
how running late or early, or out of time is the new time
~
Time is different. Time is not the same as it was yesterday
even a moment ago when you looked it all seem right on time
just like you knew it would be, felt it was tic toc-ing right
the world was timely and in perfect flow like you like it
nope. Take notice. Feel into it. Change is happening
space time continuum has you on alert.
Really, I’m not kidding
