Time is an indifferent jester;
it axiomatically parts
from the momentary wishes,
ignorantly stepping into tomorrow

'Till the nightingale's voice
no longer sing harmony
'Till the waterlily's petal
no longer flash as brisk

Only to be replaced by the new.

Time is a continuous cycle;
it coldly outdates the contemporary
meticulously mend a scar
yet inevitably ages your visage

As the last leaf falls,
dancing without restraint along the breeze
As the snow melts,
sacrificing itself for a new year's outset

Time has gone and never to be found.

The days are soundlessly slipping by;
the sands are nonchalantly running out;
day after day and week after week
a nonexistent pause in its pace

Uncountable thoughts raced as
I silently watched the familiar hue-
the flames of the birthday candles
bid farewell to memories of the past.

Where will my heart be attached tomorrow?
