Time

Some of the saddest moments in time

Are as dreams drown when they crash

Upon the rocks of reality

No longer feasible for whatever the reason

Not sustainable with in the realm of forever

They come up gasping for air

But to no avail

There is no oxygen to revive them

To many memories and long ago hopes

Have weighed them down

They have sent them into the dark chasm

Of the foamy brine of no more

There is sadness at the loss of time

But this can’t be helped

Age and life dance together upon the sea

Of what might have been

Only to lay like seaweed upon the shore

Never again to sway in the currents or riptides

Time has shipwrecked the dream.
