time is not constant, 

although many consider it to be, 

it has speed, mood, behaviour, 

and consequence,

of course we might bend, 

fashion, stretch or mould time 

to our will, but time 

moves warily through its 

promiscuous environment, 

cool at dawn, lazy when warm, 

erratic in rain, clumsy in fog,

its speed and passage varies 

in nights’ fleeting darkness or 

the drudgery of ambient day,

we may use it as our servant  

we must learn to master time,

harness it to our will,

use time for its natural purpose

to do our bidding
