Time



Hmm what a time
Moving in silence
Yet affecting many
Tick-tock away you go
In attention i can hear you
From east to west, north to south

Stories you bring to us
You turn myths to legends
Generation of decades turned into centuries
Banked up memory baring stories
Time travelling  assured whilst  present
Breaking or building bridges
The certainty of releasing to embrace.
The genesis of revelations
Take me home.
