Time moves onward
Always marching forward
Never a pause
To reflect on the past.
Marching forward
Leaving choices behind
Not a look back
As effects do unfurl.
Always forward
In its unyielding wake
Anchored in time
My decisions are cast.
Relentless march
Cementing forever
In hurting hearts
Any slip of the tongue.
River water
This entity of time
No retouching
Any points we have passed.
Each hurt I’ve caused
Can never be undone
And bad choices
Can never be redone.
Time moves onward
Giving me no quarter
Unless I find
The grace of forgiveness.
