The Essence of Time

Exploring how time plays a role in our lives as humans, and the fear we have of it running out. We're the only creatures that are so governed my time.

Time is an entity that slowly ebbs away, held in the hands of a clock
And we're terrified of it leaving, of it ticking away.
It's been a part of our lives since the first moment we breathed
It lies us down to sleep at night, it greets us in the morning.
It sets our schedule every week, and it celebrates our birthdays with us.
It heals our wounds and gives us opportunity to grow.
It's there to share our joy and celebrate our success.
It governs our lives, whether we like it or not
Time is a higher power, whether we believe in one or not
But what happens once it leaves us? When the clock runs out?
When it stops waking us up in the morning
When there's no more birthdays to celebrate
Are we left alone for the first time in our lives?
Or do we get to meet the maker of the clock?
