Time

Lost in Time

It had stood still
for so long
that it became
unnoticed, ignored and abused.

Lost in the labyrinth of progress
where it didnt consume every
waking moment until there was
none to spare.

Its movement mesmerizing
where fancies took flight
as we sailed silently
into our own kingdom.

Where our imaginations
ran wild, our lives stretched
luxuriously ahead.

As our fantasies faded,
our journeys became detours
down busy highways,
snatching, squabbling
over a sliver to link us
to those timeless promises.
