essence of time

days of our lives we cannot get back
 
hours of the night, long gone with the wind
 
and that nostalgic feeling attatched to my skin 
 
like honey and chewed gum
 
the moments branded in my mind
 
no lost over slepless nights
 
over time that won't rewind
 
it's gone forever, alright
 
and we're garunteed nothing
 
except that it won't come back
 
it's only as sure as death
 
and we're only as sure as time
 
that one day we'll all run out 
 
 it's the enemy of us all
 
it surpasses, not once over lapping
 
four letters of a delicate word
 
ever so precious 
 
stingy in it's name, it waits for none
 
and if you wait too long you'll miss it
 
so before it's gone,
 
before it fades into the distance
 
take a hold and grab it
 
hold it for as long as you can
 
because the essance of time
 
will never be around for the end of your lifetime

the importance of time and doing something while you have the chance. doing all you can in the present day because the past is no longer and the future isn't promised.
