Passage of Time

(Time’s passage means dosage of age.)

OLD vine and Time entwine
a rhyme sublime
for what makes vine twist and climb
if not the passage of Time?

OLD wine in oakwood hollow
an idiom not shallow
so what makes wine age and mellow
if not the passage of Time?

OLD comets leave then return anew
a cycle always true
then what makes them appear when due
if not the passage of Time?

OLD wounds beget scar or stain
the plain stamp of pain
but what makes pain heal and wane
if not the passage of Time?

OLD we grow, in time regret
an adage not secret
and what makes us frail and forget
if not the passage of Time?

OLD Time flies in trip boundless
a journey limitless
what goes by that is just endless?
only the passage of Time.

- between young and old is Time.
