Missing Time

Focused, concentrating 
 on some random 
   but persistent thought
 riveted in ruminations 
   fixed on point and purpose,
 ponderings deep and dark 
   in retrospective scrutiny;

Aged, antiquated, 
  moments and years,
 decades and suddenly a century
   passe, slipped into senescence 
 names, history
  lost in time.

Startling, staring, fading away, 
 hazing in dull images 
   out of time and out to space,
 evanescence, dispersed, 
   vaporized, evaporated,
 lost in the moment, 
   dematerialized from reality.

Time intervals, stretching, elongating
 millennia unrecorded
  scratching  at eternity,
 forever modes, ended
  life spans, lifetimes, legacies
 names, history, forgotten
  in missing time.
