LITTLE TIME

What is time to those who wait for it to finish,

from the clicking of the clock 

to the clocking off from a shift, 

only time can tell, but it doesn't wait for me.

The power of time are all around us everywhere,

from the time of steam and coal

to the power of a few atoms,

only times shows power, but it doesn't wait for me

Sounds of time can always be heard everywhere,

from the creeks and groans of old bridges

to the outcries of the flocking birds,

only time shows music, but it doesn’t wait for me

Beauty in the eye of the beholder always grows everywhere,

from the nature of the water flowing over hillsides

to the imagination of a human being,

only time shows creativity, but it never waits for me
