Passing By

Through out the years Time fades into the cold mist Of forgotten dreams and broken memories Bearing down on the old soul The empty years become lost regrets The wishing stars Die and become one with the vast sky As the hope of youth vanish Fate strikes with its vengeful hand Wiping away the beauty of life Cries of carefree days Too soon become nothing but passing thought The bright light of days gone by Blind the vision of days to come Making the journey seem longer As the way is lost In the fog of dazzling memories That seem to haunt Life’s fancy is soon distant With the passing of time Drawing memories on the face of beauty And crippling the soul That once danced about so freely In the warmth of the dying sun In the laughter of children Echoes the damnation of destiny Losing the shine of time In the daze of splendor The songs glorious melody Becomes lost in the screams of reality The sands of time fall And the looking glass fills with faded shadows Of days gone by The beautiful sun shines down Chilling the decaying skin of old.
