The Lucidity of Time

Witness the veil of lucid time Asleep to awake, again to find The moment always slipped away The vanishing act of this present place The word devoted to unwind The threads of despair that intend to bind The ways we now want to forgive To the lack of a voice in how we lived This moment offering reprieve Upon realisation that what’s perceived Is pain from pages burnt at last As we fear the future will return to ash The void within what we disturbed The passing of anger never left unheard The deepest loneliness we struck More incentive to burn before we read the book But witness the veil of lucid time Asleep and awake, as we dream our lives Between the past and future’s route This moment exists if it is for truth
