Out of Time

It would really be sublime/if you could give us your best rhyme/in this short amount of time.

By

It would be really sublime

if you could give us your best rhyme

in this short amount of time

And I know, to attempt to do so is foolish as can be

but think about it:

time is merely what?

On one hand, feeling nothing

more than a figment of the mind,

an inkling of thoughts

Something that one believes is solid, real,

but it’s often not.

Time is as inconsistent as can be,

Sometimes short as a dot,

sometimes longer than eternity.

It can seem scary, frightening, unnerving,

wavering, gripping you to the very core.

Because of all the things on this planet earth,

regarding time,

I wish I had more.
