There is nothing
More powerful than Time
She is both
Quick and slow
Precious and wasted
Unstoppable and deadly
She is mother to all
Gift to all
And curse to all
She births life itself
Decays it
Erodes rock
Destroys Gods
She is the only true immortal
None can defy her
Not people nor deities
Not planets nor stars
There exists nothing more powerful than she
And she is with us all
All must journey with her
As she carries us lovingly
Into the cold embrace
Of her consort
Into the arms
Of Death himself
There is nothing
Without Time

steelkat29over 10 years agoAuthorThanks for the advice, that article sounds intriguing :) and makes sense in a weird sort of way. I don't feel powerless when I think of time though, I feel awe and gratitude for all the time I've lived and have yet to live. I believe that I have a healthy respect for time :)
LesseloovesPeterover 10 years agoI totally read an article this week that said "assigning human characteristics to time makes wait times seem even more oppressive, especially for those who think of themselves as powerless rather than powerful" so...careful there...don't give time more power than it deserves...though, honestly, you get it right on. Time is all there is.
