Time is the Great Illusion

by Bryant H. McGill, December of 2004

Take every precious moment
And spend it well my friend
And dwell thee not on discontent
To higher forms transcend

For life is full of illusions
None as persuasive as time
Men shall come to their conclusions
And few as such sublime

For our time is frail and brief
Our hearts are a beating clock
No matter what our will or belief
The ticking hands shall stop

Many a man before his hour
Answered a call of unknown toll
When rang the bells a distant tower
His mortal hours stole

But time you see is a perception
Its tempo an illusion of the mind
The clock shall make no exception
Save how a man shall reckon time

It is here that death has no power
Some deeds they echo on forever
In another's beating passing hour
The gift of your loving endeavor

Sometimes it is just a smile or glance
Your gift of a gentle touch or embrace
Just never miss that precious chance
To do what time cannot erase
