TIME WILL SAY NOTHING


Time will say nothing but, “I told you so,”

When the rivers are awash with all those tears,
And the soul willingly lets the anguish grow.


When the priceless dream, broken in half,

Cries from the nearest branch of hope,
Time will say nothing but laugh.


Time will say nothing but, “I told you so,”

When the glasses of fear threaten to break,
And the heart will gladly take things slow.


When despondent with the Gods you dont see,

Disconsolate with an emotion unheard of,
Wondering why this chain of hate never sets you free.


Time will say nothing but that it told you so,

When resigned to a life filled only with rejection,
The mind will readily let you know.


When time says nothing except, “I told you so,”

I hope you accept your fate and finally love yourself,
And forgetting those wars, you let your demons go.
