Time Unchanging Changeless

I've found myself thinking

about time in general

And its led me to believing

that it's a fickle thing

I've watched the world pass by me

like a set of speeding trains

Unable to change what's happening

or even to make sense of it all

Yet then i've watched it crawl by

like a snail so steady and slow

and found myself wishing

for things that I don't know

nor need

or even want

My beliefs i find are changing

as trickling as the wind

and time has a way of seeming

to move on without end

so when i finaly understand

why time first stops then starts

may i always know my heartland

and always follow my heart.
