Children of Time

"children of time we sing and we shout,

still don't know what our lives are about"

-Matthew Sweet

We are the children of time.

We like to mix pain with pleasure.

During moments of intense activity, we scream for leisure.

and often in the midst of leisure, we find ourselves restless.....

Then we pace for good measure!

What is our pain, and what is our leisure?

Or is our pain, our leisure?

Sometimes I find it so hard to breathe,

So much to take in...

And yet I feel so stationary...

This is our bane and our  blessing.

We are the children of time.

Our pain is our pleasure.
