Time is ripening, forever—

Sublime always and ever;

Though endlessly passing here or there,

Aglow perfectly shining fair.

Marching steps,

Ticking reps,

On goes time stepping,

Gone now trickling, passing.

Departed moments seem forgot,

Parted seconds do rot,

Caught are hours within whirlwinds,

Wrought days forcing amends—

[All stand here]

Bawl and sweat, blood, tears and fear,

Gnashing teeth and grinding harshly,

Slashing time cuts deeply.

I reach swiftly out,

I fear and doubt,

I tremble and shake—

Why, I do quake.

Instantly seasons are lost, ending swift,

Delicately twisted, fermented is that gift—

Thine of wonder and fear I often

Combine emotions which easily soften.

Love and hate, impartial, loathing and zeal,

Thereof lies all, within appeal.

Derived moments thus time moves on,

Deprived not, starved not, but gone—

Fleeting feet are forever passing,

Dancing souls are singing!

Time steps forward—

~Ripening~

Forward steps time,

Singing are souls dancing,

Passing forever are feet fleeting.

Gone but— not starved, not deprived,

On moves time thus moments derived.

Appeal within all lies thereof—

Zeal and loathing, impartial, hate and love,

Soften easily which emotions combine.

Often I fear and wonder of thine

Gift that is fermented, twisted delicately.

Swift ending, lost are seasons instantly.

Quake do I? Why?

Shake and tremble I,

Doubt and fear I,

Out swiftly reach I—

Deeply cuts time slashing,

Harshly grinding and teeth gnashing.

Fear and tears, blood, sweat and bawl—

[Here all stand]

Amends forcing days wrought,

Whirlwinds within hours are caught,

Rot do seconds parted,

Forgot seem moments departed,

Passing, trickling now gone.

Reps ticking,

Steps marching—

Fair shining perfectly aglow,

There or here passing endlessly though.

Ever and always sublime,

Forever ripening is time—
