Forwards and Backwards

Hollow eyes; unknown origins. Lost and lurking through moral sins. Unsure masses try to follow. Origins unknown; eyes hollow. Pendulum; coming is going. Which is time? Reaping or sowing? Lulled eternally; gentle hum. Going is coming; pendulum. Enlightened. Storms fill horizons. Nonsense, these surreal sirens. Demons bask in shadows frightened, horizons fill; storms enlightened. Dark hearts, behold embers in coal. Beating or fleeting? Time and toll revel the spark. Yet, neither hark. Coal in embers, behold hearts dark. Forwards, backwards; backwards, forwards. Time circles all death; like black birds. Forevermore, living last words. Forwards, backwards; backwards, forwards.
