As times passes we look back

into the life that was

looking for keys

that no longer sing

the familiar tunes of

the melody we once knew

As times passes we breathe

beneath layers

of woven fabric

releasing humid fibers

obstructing the intricacy

of sacred air passages

As times passes we feel

between our ribs

unknown heartbeats

erratically marking time

beneath the wings

of our collarbone

As time passes our brain rattles

deciphering mysteries

of an unknown so vast

it encompasses nightmares

of a voracious organism

hiding in a persons´ breath

As time passes the delicacy

of our nervous system

adapts to the imperious

call to extend its sensitive

tentacles gathering data

about new forms of being

As time passes

we unveil untouched fields

of stubborn adaptability

curbed frustration becomes

ever renewed determination

to preserve Life

Time passes as sand

between our fingers

we loose track forgetting

the maps we once drew

now called to stillness

as we become, better.
