Subject: Time is the Artist

Time is the Artist

Time is the artist
who paints age upon the world:
though we find Autumn leaves beautiful
not so the lines upon our faces;
the bony knobs on once limber fingers
that caressed a lover's tender skin
or skimmed skilful over a keyboard.

Time is the artist:
what school did he attend
that he is so limited in scope?
Where was he taught
the necessity to age his models so?
Who buys his finished masterpieces
when they lie within the grave?

Time is the artist:
his teachers are from Earth's school
for what he expresses,
is but the collective belief of a race
caught helpless in death's patterning.

I wish, Oh, how I wish!
I could speak to him as I stand
behind his easel today.
Though young and pretty and full of life
I stand thus for this master,
I wish he'd see into my heart
and not paint those telltale lines
around my eyes today.
