A timeless theme is a general event that will happen to everyone and shows how everyone is similar. It is understood by anyone and everyone because normally, it will happen to everyone at one point or another.

All of this being said, her performance was spectacular and showed

Then all of a sudden tiny bits of razor sharp ice started falling, slowly starting to to grow in a few minutes to full on icicles.
