The impetuous thief.

You, the impetuous thief

that has ravaged the ages.

 Yes you Time!

Inexplicably drawn to you

I find myself on razor's edge

walking a thin line.

Although time means money

I neither had the time

or the money accrued.

Does it matter?

While in my youth 

you appeared to be free

and in abundance

I now find

my unspent time

will cost me

in the end.

time and money - never enough of each, often having one with a shortage of the other. you always make one stop and think. in my youth, with seemingly little, i couldn't wait for time to go by because anything seemed attainable in the future. now as i get older i realize how short life really is. thoreau wrote of "living deep and sucking out all the marrow of life" and putting to rout all that was not life". i don't think anything is a waste of time if it is done in happiness. i smiled as i read but this is actually quite heavy.
