As Time Passes By

Minutes into days into years,

flaky and brittle but precious,

like the hair on a child's head.

 

All of it washes away in waves,

as gently as the tiny ripples

in a silvery stream nearby.

 

Time always flows ever so close

and ever so tender, perhaps

kissing the aching joints

as it pirouettes forward again,

ever graceful, kind, merciful.

 

Yet so ruthless in its whims

as to give what must be given

without provocation nor explanation,

always silently, sweetly satisfied

to simply pass you by.
