Lost time

We're living in times lost,
not only because we're lost in it,
but especially, as no matter when we live,
it's wasted time to go against time itself;
Both to try to change it from as it happened,
or pretend things didn't occur the way they did.

Instead we can face and accept time,
by realizing that it's gone for good,
by understanding that it can't be wasted;
As it won't let us, its consumers, change it,
but it leaves its mark on us, as parts of it.

And if we're able and willing to take that in,
then we can really go with it and live it,
but either way, it's happening;
It can't be stopped and it can't be forged,
or if we try, then we waste our lives, not time.
