TIME

From What the eyes cannot see

What is it about the random but steady ripples of time?
That even the renowned Little Prince
Spoke about life through rhythm and rhyme
Which my thoughts bedazzle

Upon the heavens the stars stand as witnesses
Of the first walk from the first men in Africa
To its other quests bringing the peak of ruthlessness
And the greatest of chivalry all at once

Sublime is it to see the ticking of every clock
Rising and setting - the passing of each day
Our shadows bouncing to and fro along with our epochs
As we shun the important ones for thingamajigs

Ancient natural philosophers see the water and waves
Others conceive the eternal and immutable
Many believe in a God that saves
But did this really serve well in our daily ways?

Everyone agrees that time is linear
And yet man continues to commit looping mistakes
Do learning curves form a loop too?
Irrational thinking for a rational being
