Cools the Mind

What does it mean?
The flowers in the vase
What does it say?
Dying colours in a lifeless place?

Why does it begin?
To ultimately end?
Where is memory alive?
Where is the life of a memory when you're thinking about a lost friend?

The sun clocks life lived in days
The stars tell of life past in the dark
The lines on our palms
Don't worry where they finish or where they start

Perhaps life cools the mind
Perhaps life lives in the heart
Never has there been a second the same
Time records the history of our lives


Time leads us slowly to the dark
