Time Unstoppable
Time, unstoppable
A force impenetrable
That breaks through stone
Breaks through flesh and bone
Breaks through spirit and soul
Metal corrodes
Rock erodes
Memories erases
Feelings replaces
And after so long
It leaves no traces
It takes your hope
Until there is no tomorrow
It heals the wounds
That life inflicted
But feeds the guilt
Of wrongs elected
It breaks your will
To go out fighting
It breaks your body
And leaves it shattered
It takes your material
And buries it in the ground
It takes your immaterial
Into a realm of shadows
Where the silence is deafening
Into a deep black ocean
Where everything is nothing
And night goes on eternally
And so your journey is complete
From nothing to something
Then back to the deep
About this poem
The inevitability to escape from time and its effects of wiping everything from existence.
