It's time

At the instantaneous drop of a hat—
What makes you say, "It's time"?
What makes you close the pages
Of a book you'd oh-so-halfheartedly close?
What makes you switch off
The colorful dreams that define your "always"?
What makes you replace
The light at the end of the tunnel
With an echo that blinds, an oasis that deafens?
It's time.
No feelings that stream alongside your blood flow,
No music that simmers down your troubled soul,
No smile that makes the world stop
To capture it in a heart-wrenching breath,
Just time.
Time, the reckless rush of neglect
At the instant a hat drops.
