Here Lies Time

Here lies the past,
Filled with regret and uncertainty.
We wonder how long the memories last;
we feel them sapping away sanity

Here lies the present,
filled with voices tempting decisions.
Tainting the blooming innocent,
With different colors for each vision.

Here lies the future,
our dreams, our hopes, our sacred desires.
All these thoughts that we have nurtured,
So that our flame burns brighter.

Here lies time, in all its mystery, marvel and excitement,
A path with regret, victory, hope and enlightenment.
