PASSAGE OF TIME

(Time’s passage means dosage of age.)

 

OLD vine and Time entwine

a rhyme sublime

for what makes vine twist and climb

if not the passage of Time?

 

OLD wine in oakwood hollow

an idiom not shallow

so what makes wine age and mellow

if not the passage of Time?

 

OLD comets leave then return anew

a cycle always true

then what makes them appear when due

if not the passage of Time?

 

OLD wounds beget scar or stain

the plain stamp of pain

but what makes pain heal and wane

if not the passage of Time?

 

OLD we grow, in time regret

an adage not secret

and what makes us frail and forget

if not the passage of Time?

 

OLD Time flies in trip boundless

a journey limitless

what goes by that is just endless?

only the passage of Time.
