One a Day: Themed Poem: Time

Time alone will stand the test
Be it man or beast – the jest
Will always be upon the one
Who dares to hide and tries to run

or

Time alone will stand the test
Be it man or beast – the jest
Will always be on those that press
For more than what Time will invest

Stand strong and pious and be afeared
For only a fool that turns and veers
Away from caution would stand accursed
Upon the edge of Time’s perversed

Line of Destiny, the Moirae’s thread
Down that path, don’t be misled
Don’t gamble, take risks; be wary instead
Or else they will trim and you’ll find yourself dead
