I think you could lose L1 if you keep the title, just another way of saying time, maybe you could use curtain up and encore or something related to a ballet. Or you could change the title. Love the last line.
Our lives, an eternal dance,
and time's the prima.

That's why I said I thought it seemed redundant, along with eternal, which encompasses all time. Not being a smart-a** here, just explaining my reasoning.Think of how through time we move from the present into the future , leaving behind the past. There is an intimate relationship between the three. They move around each other, yet never are they one thing. In our lives we are participating, for a short time, in the eternal dance of present moving to future and leaving past...a dance which is centered on time itself, and how we participate in it. Thanks for the feedback though
