Analysis of Chronos
Tempus or Chronos
What are you
naughty or cruel
When people want you to go slow
You accelerate
When people want you to speed up
You crawl
No one can touch or hold you still
Yet everyone can see your footprints
in change of seasons, wrinkles and flowing rivers
when I’m ever again with My Beloved
would you please be generous
