Zealot

If there is one enemy
that mankind
can never truly defeat,
it is Time.
A simple ebb
is enough
to bring castles to dust,
and yet,
it is this same wave
that can make
the best moments of our lives
last a lifetime.
But it changes people.
Sometimes for the better
but sometimes,
for the worse.
Time conditions us,
in a way,
to expect
and accept
the future.
Perhaps,
we did not know
how to stay
once we had something
worth fighting for
because
time after time
we had become truly adept
at leaving.
