The Passing Winds of Time

As the winds of time slowly pass us by

As they wash the footsteps we left behind

As they slowly erase the youth from our face

We cry...

As the winds continue to blow through time

Slowly hypnotizing

Erasing memories we lived upon

Carrying the dreams we could not live out

Bringing a nightmare of futures alone

Creating the hurricanes which shatter our paths

We cry...

As these winds increase with fierce force uncontrolled

Moving with it the hands of a clock

We realize slowly time does not stop

We cannot recapture the things left behind

A precious love lost, a youth not lived out

We cry...

As the winds of time lightly burn our skin

We sit and cry for all the tomorrows we looked forward to

For putting today to a future faraway

All those unspoken words, stories never told

Acts not committed, broken promises

We cry out these feelings to the wind,

Little whispers for others to hear,

“Don’t get caught by the winds as they pass, erasing tomorrows you counted upon, taking away what you thought could have been”

For you walked other paths being lead astray, forgetting that time flies, not giving a damn

For those who tomorrow will say who was she or what did he do

Were they famous, or perhaps did they run in our group

We cry...
