My Time Isn’t Up, Friends
As I stand at the end of the cliff,
A breeze slaps my face
It says,
What in hell are you thinking?
Your time is up,
Jump off the cliff
Your life’s end, tis!
Then a hurricane came
It asked of me
Should you need a greater force?
Just ask me,
It also passed away
There I stood in the midst
Of the universe
Undecided which way
I turned my back
To the call of death
To myself I did say,
Oh! Hell to you all
life‘s given a single chance
Friends by the way
So I decided to stay.
I walked back
Into the realms of time
Leaving death momentarily
Far behind
So here I stand in judgement of you
My dear ones…
What was the crime that took me?
To the cliff can anyone just tell?
The bell does not toll
For me as yet
Return to you I shall,
To give all since time has yet to knell…
You my dearest friends wish me well
So I stay on earth and not in hell,
For life is given just for once
So let me continue to my story convey
As you all ask of me
I have decided to, finally stay.

Time
Time
Changes every two hourly
If you are ever confronted
With making a decision
Just spend some time away
And
the answer will become different
To the one you had taken,
If you then had taken
Remember this friend.
Your words
Sound as an excellent message,
Not only for this
Self-styled bard
But for all humanity
May thy Lord, give
A better life
And
A more knowledgeable quill to thee
Thank the gods
Much has happened since you were gone considering. There is still so very much to do. Istan
