<p style="text-align:center;"><em>No One Can Tell Which One’s Reflecting into Which</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/content.presentermedia.com/files/animsp/00003000/3223/race_the_clock_PA_md_wm.gif" />not my animation&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>They’d Both, Reflected the Endlessness, the Emptiness of the Cycle of Karma</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Every Single Appearance on the Outside is</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Merely a Metaphor</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>The Reflections of the Skies is Not the Skies</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Is it, from Within? Or, is it, Merely, a Shadow that, Tagged Along?</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>If the Pigeon is the Dream</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>Then, the Eagle Became the Decision to Make the Dream into Reality</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>For the Sakes of My Dreams in This Life</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em>I’d Taken, Step, by Step, Going Forward, and Back</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://lifetheobstaclecourse.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/a6069-expiration-date.png" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Gentle Rays of Love, the Brightness of My Own Hatred</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Nourishments from the Lust, the Dreams that Were, Forgotten</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>They’d Pushed One Another, Creating This Huge Wave</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>As the Tides Receded, Who, Will Cry for You&gt;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Eagle of Time Bit, by Bit, Piece, by Piece</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Took Away from My Flesh</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Eagle of Time, Piece, by Piece, Day, by Day</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Took Me Away</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Eagle of Time, It’d Made Me Realized</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>That Life is a Flower, Life is Also, Withering Away</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Without Hate, Nor Cries</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Just, Dissipating into the Wind, that Freedom</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>The Eagle of Time, Swallowed Me Whole</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">not my picture still&#8230;<img src="https://i0.wp.com/thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/abstract-businessman-caught-spiders-web-great-illustration-retro-styled-up-bureaucratic-34346057.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>The Eagle of Time, Took Me Soaring</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>To the Endless Universe</em></p>
<p style="text-align:right;"><em>To that, Emptiness that Filled Up, the End</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And so, from before, you were struggling, like the pigeon, with the eagle’s wanting to take your life, and here, you’d finally, accepted that you are, destined, to get, devoured, eaten alive, by the eagle, which symbolized time here, and, time is running short, and there’s NO way you’ll EVER be able to BEAT that C-L-O-C-K here!!!</p>
