Time Can'T Take Away

The changing times, 
the invisible wrap on the virtual space,
we call ours in the deceptive world
where we truly don’t belong
because our footprints fade in deserted life
swept by the blowing sands of time
throwing us out of the niche we call ours,
to where we turn into faceless aliens
struggling to measure the matrix of change,
an effort some say futile,
searching the green in the wasteland,
for the turning time will change
in the destined pattern it designs for us
in the kaleidoscopic show of life.

Let us not lament on what we’ve lost
to the times that receded untraced 
to the dispossessed obscure past.
Let us celebrate what the present gives
in the real time and space we all share.
Let us step into the New Year 
with the resolve to weave the tapestry of life
with the common strands of bliss and joy,
no time can take away from us.
