passage of time

the ideals of my youth seemed so right at the time
seemed so right to stand up and fight
  it seemed the         
                      right passage to take

 but.... the flames that once rose high
are now just sodden
                              ashes of time

travelling down the path of time
forward stepping to a new way
 every time
rebirthing a stagnant mind

                 giving an exit to the loop

       as the hour glass sands 
slowly  dropped
and time is drifting further away from these days
                      only memories 
        can relive these time stolen 
                                              days
