On Time?

On Time?
It is Nature's clock.
Although flowers and trees
never tick tock.
Neither do birds or bees
nor anemones.
So perhaps it is none of these.
To grammaticians it gives declension
and to physicists, another dimension
but to the rest of us, mostly apprehension.
Carpe Diem, Seize the Day
Poets and Prophets will often say
For This Too Shall Pass Away--
and neither life nor love can always stay,
And like you
I too
am caught in the yellowing sheets of Time
beside mountains I can no longer climb
with aches and pains from which I suffer.
What to do?What to do?
How should I know? Ask a Philosopher!
