Dont Blink
The oncoming storm
That never stays
Who counts his life
in disjointed days
Loved by companions throughout time
Feared by those met in battle
Lord of time who cannot settle
All his gifts so abundant
Intelligence, wit and empathy for all
The good man who will fall
Silence could not stop his story
never does he seek the glory
The loneliest soul adrift in time
knowing full well everything will not be fine
Don't blink
This unearthly child
that shows us all how to be more human
Torch the wood
Ring the alarm
Take my hand
Its time to run
The darkest shadow that burns like the sun
