There are events that occur in our lives, that if we could only stop time to halt their progression, or turn back time to prevent the oncoming event, we would most certainly do so.

Time however is unalterable, and waits for no one. We can only travel the course, and follow our destiny.













Time traveling on its spiral course
eludes another one's reach,
as it dances through space.


A cry rings out and fades, as the sound is covered by laughter and
expressions of happiness,
while a new birth takes place.


Then silence bursts through echoing sounds of battle,
as brave men are laid to rest.
Through the pine needles smelling,
a tiny Warbler builds its nest.


Warming rays of sunlight knife through
a wall of limbs and brush.
as a rippling brook and fishes continue toward
their destination as if in a rush.


But to no avail for time has but one speed,
that of designed travel on its spiral course through space,
where each and every thing
has already been assigned its place.


So travel on your spiral course.
As you pass my way again my sorrow will have faded and a smile will be on my face,


as another cry rings out while time spirals through space.
