Loss or Gain?

I am losing it all,
Everything seems to lose its value.
I am losing it all,
Like the sands of the desert
They slip through the velvety
Hands of time.
What I have earned are of no value anymore.
Things of value are to be kept and
Remembered forever…
But what have I to remember
When I have lost it all.
Maybe it is what I deserve.
But why should fate
Play such unremarkable games with me.
Maybe it’s the phase
I am passing through.

But when I walk further,
I see the mists of time clearing.
I see that, what seem lost to me
Is all coming back.
But with a different meaning.
They seem to look at me with pity,
Pity for not knowing them.
Now, I can only be sorry for them
For what seems to me as loss,
Was a gain in the end.
