Essence of Time

It's most essential to life throughout every aspect
It's full extent allows an individual to collect in retrospect
Through sands of an hourglass or ticking minute hands
The significance it conveys at times makes it strenous to withstand
Its compelling implication has us feeling hasty from its presence
It waits for no man who keeps us contemplating, pondering or stressing

Brilliant in its structure, nevertheless, fleeting with its patience
Makes us strive to seize the moment left picturing from rememberance
Only lasting instantaneously, that's why we're astounded with its liveliness
Gone in the blink of an eye, so be spontaneous to its enormous happiness
We deisre more from its attendance, exceptionally hard for us to capture
Pressured by its ticking the deadline draws close to an unlikeable rapture

It allows the ability to restore wounds or heal damaged hearts
The magnificence it represents allows us to leave behind or embark
We can delight within its moments or engulf sorrow from its seconds
Celebrate with its coming or be defeated by short settled beckons
We all fall victim, whether prepared or caught in its confusion
The essence of ticking time, there's really no alleviating or eluding
