When the cup cannot contain
When the kettle starts to hiss
When the light has faded dim
When your happiness is in remiss
When the clock strikes 12
When the energy has diminished
When your passion starts to flicker
When the meal on the plate is finished
When the joy has gone bitter
When the sweet is tasting sour
When you are desperate for the future & despise the very hour
When movement comes to a halt
When growth is stifled cold
When the new is no longer novel
When your thoughts are no longer bold
When the cliff is at its edge
When the oasis runs dry
When the runner completes his hurdles
When the truth becomes a lie
When concern becomes apathy
When the straw is stacked too high
When the miner hits a low
When the climber is mountain high
When your sun has finally set
When your hope approaches fade
When you’re yearning for a shift and you start to seek a way
That is precisely when you know
This is the very time to go
Time is the teller of all truth-
It is the essence.
It is the root.
Time dictates all change
Wait on time-
For life, explained.
