Its silence stalks my very own existence
In its journey
It never breaks or waits
Those who are weary it leaves to waste
Never leaves room for unfinished dreams
Each day that unfolds before us
Brings us closer to our extinction
In its race without destination
Leaves us a moment in seconds
A moment to appreciate life
To look in the mirror and smile
To love and be loved
To understand how to live life and be free
