TIME



We move through time
in perfect sync
At the speed of light
in a timeless link

We flow with time
while we move in space
and never give up
that lightspeed pace

When standing still
We find we move
There is an answer
For us to prove

The Earth is traveling
Around the Sun
Spinning through Space
and Time as One

We're pushed along
In a spacetime ride
On Earth's saddle
feeling Gravity's slide

About this poem

Time is ethereal, ephemeral and fleeting, but it’s based on physics with an underlying truth we hardly recognize.
