RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Time
Time is a freight train
It bears down on you like rolling thunder
Like a buffalo stampede on the open plains
It beats you down and tramples you
Under waves of pounding hooves
A most horrible refrain
Time is the eye of a raging storm
It comforts you with a sense of calm
Before it yields to nature’s wrath
Ripping limb from branch
Uprooting tree from earth
Shattering our chosen path
Time is a river flowing
From a gentle easy rolling stream
To roaring rapids of impending doom
Spawning life to whole ecosystems
Taking death into her sweet embrace
While a deepest darkness looms
Time is a whisper in the darkest forest
Time is the silence of the deepest sea
Time bends folds sits still and rolls
Time is the ultimate mystery
