Whispers of the Mind

Forever in Existence

When a world stops, you continue,

Always there, though no one knew,

Even after no one's left to remember,

You carry on as you always have,

Unaffected by yourself,

You've watched worlds created and destroyed,

You've seen everything to be seen,

You've caused a lot of trouble too,

Setting limits for action,

Counting down to catastrophe,

Putting a number to one's life lived
or left to live.

It's always been you, Father Time.
