Time


Another Spring

Another Fall

Upon the heels of Summer gone

And Winter settles in my bones

And chills me down deep in my heart

The Hourglass, once filled with hope

Now empties fast into the Past

Insistently now ticks the Clock

Incessant hands go round and round

The Sun comes up and falls back down

My life, the Moon, both on the wane

When Death knocks at my door at last,

He enters, an unwelcome Guest,

And brings with him uncertain Rest
