Time

Memories fade,
words jade , 
fighting the
tempests of time. 

Bygone love
loses its luster.
While a soul wounded-
gets healed,
redeemed from its captivity.

Castles turn to sand,
statures once towering 
with flamboyance,
now lie beheaded,
abandoned and overlooked.
Once they were crowned,
now dismally dethroned. 

It takes moments 
to change destinies.
A river suddenly
changes its course.
Such is the Time's 
insurmountable force.
