starlight over the new forest - a new poem

Starlight over the New Forest

Starlight over the new forest
in a time without end
the trees are turning to stars
and the stars are turning to trees
the time that went is no longer now
the time to come is no longer still
the time I had is a time of sorrow
the time I stayed to the time I left
the time I took was the thing I lost
the thing I took was the time it cost
I no longer know what the time is
when the time itself is the thing I lost
the thing I took was the time it cost
and now I know what to take from loss.
