I take from Albert Einstein who wrote:
People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
In other words;
Time: A stubbornly persistent illusion.
"If Only We Could Be Strangers Again."
(From the film: Collateral Beauty)
When we were lonely
Longing for love
Time passed slowly
And death found reality
We saw little opportunity
Like sand
Sifting in an hourglass
Of illusion.
Then we met
When we were strangers
Never again
And the world turned quickly
Death merely sand
In an empty hourglass
of illusion.
If only we could be strangers again
Feeling warmth, and a tremble
As two hearts learning to love once more
While time passed so quickly
Death merely sand
In empty hourglass
Of illusion.
But today is a new day
A gift that time provides
Love abides
In collateral beauty
As death recedes
Like sand
Sifting through an hourglass
Of illusion.
