One More Minute

Today was the day 
The world stood still 
Nothing moved
Nothing spoke 
The only noise 
Was the rain that fell
From misty windows
Of souls that have
Been shattered
One more minute 
And it would've saved 
Us a weeks worth of 
Waiting 
One more minute 
And ashes would've 
Already been scattered 
And yet 
One more minute 
To think that thought 
Through 
Would have saved us All
And, As he leaves this world 
He leaves ripples 
In the waters of time
