Forgive me

this is how it revolves around the sun
and spins on its axis
this is how time is measured
in molecules in motion
and one day after the next
we age we grow frail
this is how it devolves
every moment every second
escaping
into the nothingness of the past
were it not for memory
we would be fading
along with the sunlight
we would be just another revolution
with our faces to the sun
