In Time

In Time

A Poem by Matt Decker
"

Got a minute? Time is of the essence.

"
IN TIME
The story unfolds and plays out.
IN TIME
Teary eyes behold the way out.
IN TIME
Hard lessons are uncomfortably learned.
IN TIME
Thrones comfortably sat on are overturned.
IN TIME
The monarch in the dark lost his crown.
IN TIME
The richly-stitched veil fell slowly down.
IN TIME
Thunder struck with a mighty rumble.
IN TIME
Wondrous structures weakened and crumbled.
IN TIME
The empowered empire declined.
IN TIME
Starfire will surefire cease to shine.
IN TIME
The hole will grow and expand.
IN TIME
The soul will know and understand.
IN TIME
A universe was sparked into life.
IN TIME
The cosmos will go dark and quiet.
• • •
Immortals exist ever outside of it.
Mortals wish to never run out of it.
Feet of man stand on a thin line.
Let us then do all that we can
• • •
In Time.
