On the coming year and my feeling of this one

On the coming year and my feeling of this one

As the clock chimes and
Bells ring, time
Seems fluid yet still
Flowing yet static

It was a spring day
Blink
Then it was scorching summer
Blink

Then it was autumn and the
rains fell
Then a snowless winter in
a tropical land

Now the cycle starts again
Part of a never-ending circle
But our perceptions are awry
For time is a straight path

That neither returns nor overlaps

The past lives in
Memories that time erodes

The present ever changes becoming
Part of the past

But the future
Lies ahead and
No man may know whether
It is dim or bright
