Backdrop

Backdrop

Time flows like sand in an hourglass,
only you can't flip it.
Just like that, all your dreams come to pass,
because they were unfit.

On a clock, you see time pass by,
but this watch will never stop.
They say dreaming is to defy,
just blend into the backdrop.

Telling you not to engage,
only time will show you the way.
Play your role on the stage,
and put yourself on display.

The hourglass is slowly cracking,
and this dream of yours is blacking.

'Play your role on the stage,'
exactly...methinks that's all we are
actors in the play of life...x

Incessant flagellation no...

Incessant flagellation no longer torments nor assails psyche of mine...

until courtesy amazing grace interceded
in the doggone guise
of Canis lupus familiaris...
