In the Silence of Time

In the silence of time Tomorrow's unknown Maybe I'll try Maybe I won't Dropping my pride I've struggled too long I feel it inside Solemn yet strong I patiently wait Watching the tides The lapping of waves Fighting my mind Walking to shore I look to the sand Wishing for more I tighten my hand Stood on there own These memories of me And now I feel old I just cannot see For I didn't look And I ended up here On the route that I took Only darkness appeared These demons of mine Long do they wait Frozen by time Forever they stay Where did I go? It left me behind Floating ashore In the silence of time. (Read in Reverse)

Another emotion-filled write. I kind of like it better in reverse. Very clever Ben!

Very good Ben. The fact that it reads backwards too is amazing. Not an easy thing to do.
