Time and Time again

A minute passes, an hour has gone by, the day is once again over..
Everyday, constantly, all the "TIME"..

Time can suddenly seem irrelevant, controlling and vague. It's a man-made concept. It's made to "measure".. Living from day to day. Living through the minutes and hours, through the days, weeks, months and years. They pass, they've gone, we've lived through them.
We can't get them back. They are untouchable, nobody can see or hear them.
But we can feel that they have passed. The way the many many minutes, hours and days keep stacking up, as if they are thrown on a heap.. to create a "mountain of time". Whether it's being wasted or cherished, time is forever changing the world, changing lives, changing you.

"Time is a healer". So does that mean I can get it from the chemist? Do I need a prescription from the doctor? What dosage do I need? What happens if somebody takes an overdose of time? Just because they want to get better as soon as possible.. How dangerous can that be? I wonder has it ever lead to people being worse off.. people getting sicker than they were before they started this medication called "time".. Maybe a dosage should be taken with some drops of "patience". It that the best cure? The answer: "Time will tell". That's strange too.. Because you then might realize that the dosage of time was too much, and it's too late.. The damage is done and you would wish that "you could turn back time". But this isn't an option, because it has passed, the time is gone. There's no getting it back. We don't know where it has gone. We couldn't see it to start with. The only evidence we have of the time having passed, is the progress we make as we live daily life and the feelings that come and go.

We're all here, put on this earth, billions and billions of little people.. feeding our bodies, to keep us alive, making a journey that feels never ending, for a certain amount of time, just to do our bit to keep world spinning. Ruled and controlled by the clock on the wall, by calendars and dates.
Does everyone have a vision of the calendar imprinted in their brain, through which they live their life? Thinking in years to come, things will suddenly be different.. Worrying that we won't know how we'll make it through to another stage in our life..And then it's just happened, without even realizing it. Time had a certain control over it, it pushed us through it, because whatever needed doing at that moment in time was "there", we couldn't overlooking it, not for a precious moment.. And it's these moments that make the days, days make time, and time passes, and time changes us and suddenly it's all okay.. and STILL the clock keeps ticking and the days come and go..

Analyzing "time", is endless. There is no conclusion.. just a lot of confusion.
One thing that's for certain, today is for living. Just like life is for living. Don't wish time away, because it will happen at the exact same pace, without us forcing it or working against it.. So why do either? Just going with it, living it and enjoying it..

Chasing tomorrow, how long is the race?
Chasing tomorrow, avoiding the fears we might face
Chasing tomorrow and not appreciating today
Chasing tomorrow, what a shame, some might say

Forgetting yesterday and the possible regret
Forgetting yesterday and the people we met
Forgetting yesterday, is that not a shame?
Forgetting yesterday, but isn't that our frame?

Living today, Because tomorrow is never here
Living today, after learning from yesterday's fear
Living today and not joining the race
Living today is cherishing the moment we must embrace.
