The Chronophage That Engulfs Us
Chronophage: time eater — time is finite.
The winding passageways of time It sweeps away moments Lost in its whirlwind It shapes and transforms With swift precision
Its appetite knows no bounds Feasts and indulges in the priceless hours It wipes out the present Only the past remains Leaving echoes behind No barriers stand a chance against its dance In its wake It brings both joy and pain
A cascade of bittersweet A reminder that life is transient, not in vain Invites us to seize each moment to make them last For time is a currency we cannot reclaim
