We carry on, though Time rakes fingers hard against our skin
And we remember better the person we are within
Than they who stare with stranger’s eyes at us who stare
right back
To test modern-day pioneers foraging Unknown’s track
…of forward march and Time with hungry eyes spares no
surprise
As what we thought we knew evolves and readjusts our sighs
We carry on, for what else can anyone do, but this?

potency of Time’s kiss, by God's grace...
