Time
By mysticventures
What is time -
Except the passing of one present into another
That we are conscious of this passing -
Is what separates us from all other creatures
It is our blessing -
And our curse
A blessing in that, with this awareness -
We are given control over our destiny
A curse in that, with this awareness -
In our attempt to manage time,
So focused on the future are we,
That we fail to see the present for what it is
For truely it is -
Our place
In time
