Lament to Chronos

"Turning To Spring" Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison
They say time heals
but these days
they creep by so slowly
and the nights
the nights are torturous
I am a tourist
in my own life
a visitor
in the museum of my mind
I'm bleeding
I'm dying
and the minutes tick by
Time doesn't care.

The minutes tick by and more strange and wonderful things come forth. Especially from your mind.

Time doesn't care, but we do.
