The Sands Of All Time
The days of our lives can be long and drawn
A summer’s warm light or a winter’s cold dawn
A comforting breeze or a falling dead leaf
A love that is long or a love that is brief
A shadow of autumn or a shrivelling flower
A glorious sunrise that gives love its power
The passage of time withers our skin
And the soul in itself may cower within
Time long forgotten is time lost in itself
Love is life’s value not the coinage of wealth
The quest of a soul is to find a true mind
Reach out the heart to where it’s confined
Entwine in the memory and to cherish above
Rise in the heavens and shine in true love
Dying alone and forgotten by love
As the clouds and the darkness descend from above
The shadows of winter fall with the mist
I forget the warm feeling of the lips I have kissed
The darkness is calling and winter draws in
And the falling of leaves in the night does begin
The fading of memory and hopes of the past
Are lost in sad whispers, last breaths for the past
Alone in the darkness extending my hand
As the world duly withers and tumbles like sand
With cracks in my fingers I breathe my last breath
And the sands of all time will crumble in death.
