Time

It was once articulated that
"time is but a walking shadow
ominous in pleasure, never ending
and relatively inevitable."
Yet I find that even time itself
has a dead line...

"For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven."
And I've found this to be true.
A time to die and a time to give birth
is old, that's nothing new.

In due time, time will fade
away and be no more as
we know it today.
Some say time is infinite,
that nothing can ever destroy it.
Nothing can ever defile it...

Yet what about I AM THAT I AM?
He defines and rearranges time as
if it were a simple puzzle.

He is God,
He is love,
and ultimately,
He is time itself!

If time were frozen,
we would not even exist
because the earth as we know it
would be unbalanced due to a lack of time.

So I pose this last question:
what exactly is time and
where did it come from?
