Essence of time,
flowing by on rivers,
energy blowing in the wind,

people passing,
on boats made of string,
actions recurring,
by decisions made on things,

glass tells of history,
the present and the future,
while today tomorrow, yesterday,
play out like photos in a shop,

The couple printing wedding pictures,
The old man regaling of love,
The pressman getting wages,

time waits for nobody,
while he waits in the hallways of recollection.
