Time (repost)

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
