Time Winds Down
Time Winds Down
Hear that clicking across the floor
Something waits outside the door
Pull the covers up, under the chin
Hear heavy breath, it really wants in
What beastly creature haunts from below
As the light fades and moon is aglow
Night after night fear it deepens
Strength to fight it slowly weakens
Prayers of forgiveness play on the lip
One day to plan that inevitable trip
Above or below
One never will know
Until one day we return to the ground
As life passes on and time winds down
