The Sands of Time

The sands of times.... 
.. .. 

.. .. 

The sands of time fill up in my eyes.... 

.. .. 

And the mirror tells the truth to my lies.... 

.. .. 

.. .. 

The dogs are on the run from the setting sun across my mind.... 

.. .. 

The track is clear on the train that reads out my lines.... 

.. .. 

.. .. 

All the fears of life that have been in my time.... 

.. .. 

I look up to see my captured dreams float away I find.... 

.. .. 

.. .. 

The future evolves but revolves also on the train you will find inclined.... 

.. .. 

What you see today will never be again but memories will remind.... 

.. .. 

.. .. 

From the desert plains to the highest of mountains are the same but worn away outlines.... 

.. .. 

And that is why these things in my eyes have no real importance to these succinct rhymes .... 

.. .. 

.. .. 

The world is a paradox in which we are part to conclude a passage through wise minds.... 

.. .. 

And the most innocent see there is no reason to escape but just simply slip through the hands of the sands of times.....
