Time
A nightingale always one step away from your grasp
Uncontrollable and everpresent
a constant ebb and flow
from one moment to another

Testing you
Always one step ahead

Giving you the fleeting moments that you want to hold on to forever

Yet time runs
Unstoppable and mysterious
It shines like a beacon in the darkness

The most loved force
The most hated tyrant

A nightingale always one step away from your grasp
