Observation on time and life
Time traps its victims gently,
In a gossamer web,
Passing like some ghostly spider,
Dangling a fun house mirror in its web,
Changing the appearance of everything,
So that the familiar
Becomes unfamiliar,
Things appear and disappear,
Until the show ends
With a full stop.
