The Perception of the Transformation of the Time
We all have twenty-four hours a day.
No matter what happens, it never changes.
However, they are not how we perceive our experiences.
The perception of the time depends on how we spend our time.
The saddest pains are engraved timelessly
In the ice of our hearts.
The highest moments are symbolized as fireworks
Which perform then disappear in a moment of brilliance.
Time itself has its own paces and rules
Therefore, is important to learn how to become good friends of time
And discover if we have been living our lives to the full.
The Perception of the Transformation of the Time,
