Mysterious Future

Bewildering is it not?

How time moves

The way moments meld

Where present transits

And past merely melts



Us, chasing the infinite

Striving to catch it

Racing for every second

Hoping not to lose

Though there is little else to gain



The material is temporary

Emotions are temperamental

Memories will be forgotten

And duties are empty without reason

Reason itself cannot be scrutinised



What is there to gain?

What do we grow into?

Where-in lies maturity?

How do we know?

Questions, questions, questions.



Every action executed

All the leaps in knowledge

The discovery of religion

Each individual mileage

A void of mere passage



Capture the moment

Read the journey

Record history's passing

Find a containment for time

Redeem the flowing seconds



What will you find in the sands

Cloaked in a crystal hourglass

Bearing raiment of gold

The secrets of the philosopher's stone
