Cannot Poems - Poems about Cannot

In the mystery of the universe, where mortal hands cannot stop the fall of flowers, tears gather like pearls on the petals of destiny, without defying the law of time, for what must be, shall be, like the twilight that bows before the night, and the stars, in a trembling choir, bow to the dusk with grace and...

This pace I cannot keep up Soon we're going to call it a wrap The more I blink the more agile it gets Every time I breathe, it's on my life I'm placing the bets This dirging song gets louder in my head As I nigh the end I don't know if I'm going to be...
