Dancing Against Time

Time beats constant rhythms,

On drums, not always in step;

The life we planned on dancing to,

Played future songs we’d not heard yet.

Often, we’re forced to remember

Friends or things we thought would last…

Sadly, looking back on them

As joys lost to our past.

A second chance is useless,

I tried to never let go…

My futile battles against the clock,

Defeated with less to show.

I often peruse memories,

They seem to cover infinity…

Taking eons to occur in time,

Yet now only seconds to see.
