Time.


Pureness only lasts as long as the mind is blank.

Blankness only lasts as long as voices are non-existent.

Voices mean friendship,

but friendship can be poison.

When exposed to poison for too long, things can die.

When death occurs, sadness roars within you.

& sadness can only be cured by

time.

Time can

cure.

Time can build love & 

friendship.

Time can 

destroy.

Our whole existence is fighting 

time.

Time means 

death.

Time also means

life.

The young unknowingly wish it away;

while;

The old pray for it 

back.

Time starts with pureness & ignorance & ends with wisdom & death.

Wisdom knows the minute;

while;

Ignorance has no clock.
