Beyond This Juncture

Moments pass swiftly as they slip through our grasp
Like sand falling in the glass
Every grain lost below
Forgotten in time
One more opportunity missed
Left with nothing
We're left with nothing but a wish
Days coalesce into blurred years
Left behind in another decade
With the faces we met there
Our memories will fade
As we drift beyond this juncture
Where intimate shadows linger
Time remains constant to every being
Every being is variable in time
Vulnerable to change
But we are always progressing
Choose to run or stay in place
Hands on the clock keep the pace
This world will spin with us or without
It won't wait if we're falling behind
Depending on non existent intervals
To catch our breath
We do the best we can to pull ahead
So take what you want, and leave what you don't need
Hold tight because there is no guarantee
Keep your loved ones in the present
And keep moving with passing seconds
The hands won't stop turning
No, they'll never stop turning
