Where Does Time Go?
by Alison McKenzieCan anyone tell me,
Where does Time go?
Does it simply mark the passage of moments?
Is it energy, Time?
I don’t know.
I only know that
Last year seems like yesterday,
And by the time I’ve got a plan for tomorrow,
It’s long since been.
Maybe it starts as music,
Like the universe,
And after we’re through roughing it up,
It turns into music again.
Maybe it’s just a cosmic loop
Repeating on the backbeat
Of giocoso harmonies,
Dolcissimo dissonance -
The long, slow fade
Of echoes.

Time is like an old friend, you forget about them but every once in a while you get a Christmas card in the mail and think "Wow, that time already?" |
