Precious

you may run here

to keep time busy

you may hide there

for the entertainment

though escape, you cannot

  

you're already here now

  the clock has been started

you will already be there 

  when this clock it does end

one way or another 

  eventually

the very same point

at a very different time

 the whole of everything

 precious

I like the way the start and the end almost contradict each other in that same way us silly purpose-seeking humans do. Knowing how every last moment we're afforded is incomprehensibly precious, yet always feeling like whatever we do amounts to no more than keeping time busy. Well put, and thought-provoking.

Thanks schalnks. I think we agree on what this might be about.
