Time they say waits for no man
the heart beats on
and the seconds go by
minute after minute
hour after hour
never to be gained back
all those moments lost
to the passing of father time
and his marauding clocks
spin the world does on and on
taking with it vital milliseconds
now lost to the ether so
what would you do
if it was given back
as if time was turned back once again
to a point in time of your choosing
were you could change
what was then and is now
would you even bother to
or freely accept it is how it is
unduly influencing all that will be
curious is the human
as mans search for many things continues
including reversing time
back to some creative point or moment
too witness too see too hear
to feel and know
would the outcome change
from your presence so
without speaking or touching
would you even be here now
pondering these words
would you know and see all you do
and feel what you feel
each and every day
for on and on the heart will beat
and the clock will tick an strike
sounding out its march
of days to you the soldier of this life
and follow it you will
and live by it you shall
for time is now lost
since I began
and gained back it wont be
nor ever stop
whether your here or not

Yet another brilliant piece. Haven't we all wished to be able to go back and "change" things?
