One thing

A vector that runs

from negative infinity to positive

it strings everything

from past to present

if you abide by its line

you can find

the roots that have gone astray

you can find the future

that lies ahead

time is a paintbrush

that smudges green on the field

then turns it yellow

meanwhile time is a magic wand

that changes everything

it makes leaves marcescent

it makes flowers fragrant

time is a fountain

it nourishes the hearts of lovers

it makes their affections grow stronger

and deeper 

but at the same time

it's also a powerful carving knife

it wears down the grievances

smooths the differences

between people

engraves all the beauty

on their minds

time is a touchstone

it exposes those 

things that only shine outwardly

restores their former tones

 time is a good unguent

it heals all the pain and wounds

leaving only happiness, wellness and hope

time is the overlord of all societies

it brings some down

lifts some up

in fact

time is a merciless killer

it will bury everything eventually

and you simply cannot stop it

there's no need to think much about it

everything will fade

into the same.
