Now I Sleep

Now I sleep in trust

I relinquish this day

A memory that never was

Forgotten as so many before

 

A world in a faded dream

Meaning is an ethereal thing

A rear view speeding from view

 

There once was a man

Or so I was told

One who is well recalled

 

Words speak of deeds

I have never seen

Pulled from a past

Echoes of what has been
