Thoughts of time when time began
Celestial matter spread with a bang
Fusing under gravity and heat
The upshot of its nuclear feat
The stars and planets and their moons
Revolve in galaxial cocoons
Billions and billions of years
Over which these heavenly peers
Were born and grew and took their path
In their orbits as they were cast
Pacing along the passage of time
Gradually increased their shine
The stars, like our sun, then nurtured
Planets which in turn mothered
Life on them which itself evolves
And no, with time it doesn't crawl
It gathers speed and shoots ahead
Faster it goes faster it gets
Time that ends up getting squeezed
And Decades pass in just a week
The universe from which we all hail
So patiently creates the veil
Which covers all and nourishes
Environ in which life flourishes
Gaining perfection over time
But patience for us is such a crime
We get caught in the endless rush
When "how" is supplanted by "how much"
The time we have we spill and spend
And hurl towards the hurried end
