None Are Immune To Ceaseless Ravages of Time

None Are Immune To Ceaseless Ravages Of Time In vain we beg for that which once we had Things Time destroys with its whispering ease Sometimes its destruction is not so bad and at others, ones best gems it will seize. Time eats away as a ravenous beast. With cold indifference, on all it feasts. In eager youth we are too often blind To wicked hands of invisible foe We deny its bites with inventive minds Using our dreams to alter life's true show. Time eats away as a ravenous beast. With cold indifference, on all it feasts. Realization comes one fateful day we wake to see Time's long, razor sharp teeth bitter fruits of it having had its way seeing graves of those its laid underneath. Time eats away as a ravenous beast. With cold indifference, on all it feasts. R.J. Lindley, Sept. 4th, 1988 Rhyme, ( How Time And Fate With Heartless Ease Destroy )
