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
