Time Waits for No Man



Time
    offers dreams surreal
   
Enchanted
                ~easily taken for granted
    breathing life from the dark side of the moon.

Waits
     quietly for reasoning
    
 A recollection
                  ~maybe a simple reflection
     seems the answers never come too soon.      

For
     do you really know your soul?
    
What makes it burn
                   ~what makes you yearn
     Within the stillness can you hear its softest tune?

No
     one knows what card life holds
    
The king of diamonds seems quite secure
                   ~such an enticing, yet false allure
     The fall of an ace leaves a sure hand strewn.

Man
     chases a daring dream
    
He gets but one chance to live
                    ~time simply does not forgive
     for death is not the enemy, my friend,    
rather life endured ~ immune.
