Where has it gone? This singularity of a heartbeat A moment of comfort and sadness In which it was free to be aimless Wandering in this present reality There is a silent sign, forever bound Where does it go? Every second it passes by For each and every word that sits Idly on the tongues of perfect strangers Worlds apart in heart and mind again It's still a silent concept of a reality Where has it been? Staring down all in wait Never a move backwards Never a step to alter its weight But the worth is far too precious to waste And there's so little left to give away in this state Where will it be? When sought for in vain Can it be found again to be bought? Presented to those who have lost too much To gain back what once was lost; Well it’s lost, and lost again and again. © 2014

Tempus Neminem Manet
Where has it gone? This singularity of a heartbeat A moment of comfort and sadness In which it was free to be aimless Wandering in this present reality There is a silent sign, forever bound Where does it go? Every second it passes by For each and every word that sits Idly on the tongues of perfect strangers Worlds apart in heart and mind again It's still a silent concept of a reality Where has it been? Staring down all in wait Never a move backwards Never a step to alter its weight But the worth is far too precious to waste And there's so little left to give away in this state Where will it be? When sought for in vain Can it be found again to be bought? Presented to those who have lost too much To gain back what once was lost; Well it’s lost, and lost again and again. © 2014
