Days In Motion
The passing days will collect fallen leaves
and bury them beneath soft mounting soil
Though days have sown tightly this blanket's weave
and have done so without the need for toil
The constant motion of both night and day,
passes unheeding any moving minute
As days move forward and without delay,
cares not for who lives, or who dies in it
Though worlds lived in now are gone tomorrow
We'll waste our passing on mind's confusion
and fill need to create empty sorrow
From failure to live days infusion
We spend our days on unimportant things
and fail at understanding what life brings
