A New Sun Rises

A new sun will rise and fall on my days Until a moment I finally sleep While footprints I've made fade slowly away Time will move forward and it will not weep I am a sweet breath that never lingers To be born then forever disappear To measure time with gray wrinkled fingers They come over years and slowly appear The quiet filled hole I shall never own To lay beneath the earth where grass roots feed A world empty of life, cold and alone A cycle not of wanting but of need Should I need answers for reasons time found The days I have lived I have found profound
