On the wings of Time
we fly
forever forwards
until the end of all we know
is lost forever
the eye blinks
and in a moment of darkness
fate guides your footfall
when the world can't
Forever forwards our film reel rolls
never a pause to think about
how direct directions lead us
replay the past in present
to create the error of the future--
how flies Time
on golden wings
Patience, for it leads at a constant rate
a variable of action
a fork that leads straight--
A passenger ride for two
with a map of the known:
wonder and amazement dead in the back
as expectancy becomes expected
On the wings of Time
we fly
alone
through History with no pit stop
and a blind world
with no Monocle
approaching an End that always was
maintenance never completed
on a hallway of locked doors
broken in Time
a break, a bend, a gap
a floating memory
existence
these bubbles prepared to burst
as Father rests in the bath
As a beginning and an End
a road blends into the sky
and goes farther then the eye can see
Past a setting sun and into a sun rise
Epoch Terminus
is all there ever was
windows on pages of late
beneath our feet, above our head
a murky glass
stained in stolen dreams
we soar on the
wings of Time
forwards forever
in but memories Past
as but a final thought
as the grave stone reads:
of Fate and her Scythe
and Fate
she flies
behind the wheel with reckless abandon
still on her maiden voyage
christened Misfortune
choices, decisions
crossroads to the same point
stumbling through a fate guided step
onto broken glass
Some frozen in the fall
crumbling buildings
falling forever
some free falling
in a waterfall of Time
In a building of failed maintenance
frozen water flows
where we stood and talked
watching the bubbles breeze by
where Fate and Time danced
waltzing across the line
across the room
the outside
Fate showers in the excess of Time
changed by it
coming clean in its presence
washing
bleeding down the drain
forever
The old couple
that's seen it all
and still has
Epoch Terminus
to look forward to--
All action is negative
no Time travel will change that
as you create new reality
for yourself
no other
from others vanished
to better things
lost
delusions of grandeur
in a new reality for you
millions new created--
and streams trickle
down hills and valleys
gaining separate speed
to merge in the end
of a known map
and rub clean the ink
Buildings on terrible foundation
floating on frozen time
drifting still
evermore--
a world of disrepair
free will flaunted
in desecrated temples
torn in Time--
Fate's throne atop an icy palace
waving wearily down upon
order
sailing as Times pilot
life boats gone
used
floating bodies in hard water
left behind
On the wings of Time
powered by agony
we fly
torture moves forward in endless abundance
with millions of passenger seats
and a million more standing
looking forward to a rare
Epoch Terminus
as all there ever was.
