Anathema of time

By Alasse Fefalas

Time moves forward
60 mins per hour.

Imagine if time could stand still,
stop, rewind and forward.

To weave through time,
a feat, a feat!

But as if we are nothing
but ghosts of ourselves
trapped in the present.

Take nothing
but memories -
Lessons learnt.

Look forward
to the future -
ever so coming.

Change
everything -
in the present.

So imagine
if you will.

Mistakes reviewed
in a different light.

History
never rearing its ugly head.

But alas,
the future can only unfold in time -
in view of the path we choose to take.

For that
is the curse
of time itself.
