Time

i'm as young as the first ray of the sun

i'm as ancient as a civilization extinct

i'm as true as a little river on its run

i'm as spurious as a fallacy's instinct 

i'm as attached as the womb to a foetus

i'm as distant as an orbit to the comet runaway 

i'm as alive as affection animus

i'm as deceased as a phoenix's birthray
