Sometimes I feel like I'm choking without gravity, losing all sense of time, trying to escape, but inevitably just moving closer to that which humanity fears most.
Which is what?
What do you as a human fear the most?  I am searching for that answer.
Not what HUMANS fear most, but what does humanity as a whole and as an individual fear most.
Thus far I've heard finals, and death.  Very valid answers.
Who in their right mind isn't afraid of such?

You know what I am afraid of?
Time.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
The leaves rustled in the breeze
bringing forth memories forgotten
the soul sprung free of its worldly chains
released to wander as it will

The soul of a nation
long gone from this world
returns with a vengeance
To punish those who scorned

Folk flee before its wrath
Frightened of the inevitable
but what is more worthy
The creator, or the destroyer?

The creator, the ultimate builder
one who holds the key to existence
in an instant, he can give everything
in the next, he can withhold the most valuable

The destroyer, the ultimate wrecker
the one who holds the key to chaos
in an instant, he can dissolve the most stable
in the next, he can grant brief amnesty

Who does the wind fear
the one who can take just as easily as give
the one who things nothing of destroying 
or are they one and the same

Could the wind perhaps
released the greatest demon of all
forgotten in the stream of time
gathering strength in the abyss

He will click his hands
and the world shall moan
the unfettered master
The King of Time
