Falltime

Time is endless, my friend Days and nights past And age blooms and fades like withered flowers Time, it takes everything away We have no time to lose For thee we must scramble a chance Hidden in the hearts nourishing seeds into sprouts Too slow for us to leave Tick-tock the clock taps Seconds, minutes, shifting by oh so smoothly Leaves fall as September comes Grass grows back when spring falls back Time is dangerous The rolling of darkened waves in the never ending sea of despair The blackness in deserted canyons like a mansion of depression The blazing fire burning on hopeless hearts When we count the clock hands that shows the time Would we think about the time flowing past The streams of water moving each day Time leaks, but it’s still endless, my friend
