Untitled #4

A Poem by John Sullivan

is it
the
hour

or
the
age?

know
all things
pass

time turns
its
page

like
the works
of
Ozymandias

nothing beside
will
remain

it's the calendar that sneers in cold command

the
dying
of
a
light

that
good
night

against
which
we
rage
and
rage
and
rage

decades 
die

fields fallow
lie

we're tall buildings built on sand

so we'll wave
goodbye

and I'll wonder
why

as
to
all
the 
things
I'd
planned

' time turns its page. ' So true. Every day is a mystery and you never know what the next moment will bring.

This is so thought provoking.
