Lost Moments

Each moment in time becomes a memory A first kiss upon untouched lips now gone The birth of a newborn their first baby steps Disappearing memories taken away by time Clocks ticking away all of our firsts encounters Leaving only thought’s with only memories left. Yet, without time moving on nothing is created Becoming a moon without the stars and sun Wandering through space without any time Man created moments in time that go tick tock Measuring and calculating our death of time Seconds, day’s, weeks and years now all measured Precise and accurate stealing away each moment Before time began all had freedom from time Mankind now relies on each moment by, watching Taking away our free time and adding seconds to it Adding and subtracting Life from earth As we add one to one we now have two moments We have educated life into believing time is correct Animals have no conception of time or what it is They cannot calculate the speed or distance of a car We consider them dumb as they walk in front of our cars Dying because they have a freedom from time elapsed Smarter is not always better when it comes to time Who is dumber mankind or the animals? who are unable to measure time and are free from it.
