End of An Era

The jagged edge of time
So unkind, cant rewind
The cruel pendulem swings
With every heartbeat
Brittle bones and wrinkled skin
Remind the mirror, time grows thin
The greying beard merges 
With hourglass sands
One more hasty sunrise ,open eyes
Lights the way for my demise
I humbly bow my head
God finally takes my hand
