Time passes (from The Poet and The Mathematician)

The concept of time is often elusive,

A fleeting moment that’s hard to grasp.

Minutes to hours, it can be exclusive,

As it slips away in an endless clasp.

The seconds tick by without remorse,

And we try to hold on to every moment.

But time remains an unyielding force,

A relentless adversary, never dormant.

We measure time in hours and minutes,

In seconds, days, weeks, and years.

But time is more than just digits and limits,

It’s an essence cloudy, then in thought clears.

So contemplate the essence of time,

And the fleeting nature of our existence.

Embrace each moment, as if it were prime,

And cherish every rare instance.

For time is a gift, both fleeting and precious,

A reminder of the beauty and fragility, in strife.

So cherish each moment, without any fuss,

And embrace the wonder of this timeless life.
