Time's Sultan Of Doom
If you live long enough
you can outgrow everything
even uncertainty and doubt
As the road fades behind you
and memories compress
giving you a final way out
Taking you into a magical land
between two worlds where you
float in-between
One where you struggled and questioned yourself
and one made of wishes
and dreams
All choices abandoned and willed to the past
the either-or the most cryptic
of tombs
As you travel within and beyond just yourself
all past futures
—time’s sultan of doom
