Analysis of Inconsequential time
Time was and shall be
Even in our immutable
Way of obstruction or privy
Take time and leave it be
While our ability to savor
Suffers immeasurably
Time is consequential
Time is unforgiving
Time is remembrance
Another time it might have been
Yet almost impossible to know
How, why or when but somehow
Time to fly, time to ease into
More or less some other time
While wishing or begging for mine.
