Time Is Flying - Tumblr Posts

It is certainly an intriguing perspective, but it does raise the question of whether we are perhaps viewing a lost civilisation from the vantage point of an existing one.

It suggests that what we perceive as certain and solid today is, to some extent, shaped by our subjective assumptions. Everything is in a state of flux, and nothing is permanent. If we, as a species, can avoid complete failure, there may come a time when someone looks at the ruins of our civilisation and thinks it's really nice to look at.

It might be suggested that the entire ancient world had to speak Latin, for better or worse, and that this was a necessary step to benefit from civilisation.

A floor without a house in the water from a bygone era inspires admiration instead of reflection.

TIME IS FLYING Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1968, 2021

Time is flying You'll be sighing When you think of the times When you were mine And we were fine Now you're alone (SPOKEN: Come on home)

Time is flying You'll be crying When you think you will be The one for me But, you will see That I won't care (SPOKEN: If you're standing there)

Time is flying You'll be dying When I think of you And you'll be blue Like he will, too When you're alone (SPOKEN: Now you're gone)

Time is flying You'll be lying When I come home today When I come to stay To love this way Cause I'm alone (SPOKEN: Come home)

Time is flying You'll be trying But, my love you can't buy And you'll ask why All I do is cry And I will say (SPOKEN: Go away, go away)
