Lifes passing
Sitting here looking around
With my hound
Somewhere in the lost and never found
Lost in time
Writing some rhyme
Sound of silence fills my head
Sometimes I feel dread
Ringing
Stinging
I see the past
Went by fast
Love all around
Happy laughing sound
Someone to hold
Life makes you bold
But love seems to die
Wish I knew why
Then days turn long
You feel you do not belong
Life passes by
I know what it feels to cry
Years out in the cold
My story done told
Sadness of the lost soul
No goal
So many yesterdays start becoming my past
Stepping away at last
Time walks away
Never to stay
From young to old
Life is not always gold
I have been told
Keep moving forward
Towards
Someday tomorrow
Stooped by sorrow.
Hair turns gray
Nowhere to stay
Colder grows the night
Harder the fight
Hate
Bad trait
Years
To many tears
But I stop as I see the light
Why fight
Such a lonely night
No matter what you do
Be true
Can not fly
Unless you try
Life goes on with you there or not
Do not let your soul rot
Lost in what you don't got
Live for this day
Make your own way
Find
Some peace of mind
In all you do
Be true
Time passes by
No one for me will cry
Bent, bowed
My body needs towed
I am so old
My body cold
I stand looking down
But I am not wearing a frown
As I slip away into the night
I feel no fright
I see me lying there
But I feel no care
My body no longer belongs to me
I feel free
I hear no crying sound
My soul no longer bound
I feel found
Ready to find my way home
No more must I roam
As away I fly
I find I can finally reach the sky
Happy are the tears I cry
Life's pain washes free
Old I no longer be
Love is what I see
As I enter the light
I feel bright
Alone no more
I am free to soar
Stepping away from the forever night
I become the light
