Balance Lost

There is not enough time in the day for us 
to understand what we need to
together under one roof we lie and wait
wanton thoughts becomes a balance lost
the top spins faster
Life is now disordered at the highest cost 
A bookshelf empty, all the voices lost
Could it be we are not as brave as we once thought?

Don't grieve yet not all is lost.
