Another day, another night
My old companions haunt
Each breath they take note
Misery and Death's account
Waiting, watching patiently
For they serve only eternity
My spanse is so short
But a moment in time
A universe within a grain
Sand upon an endless beach
All the same, all just one
Fragments of what's been
Time's passing flows
Days like grains pour on
Draining the resevoir slow
Taking toll with grey gaze
All are but fond memories
The present is but a moment
The future spills steadily on
To the present, in the past
Each droplet falls tentatively
To the seas of eons flowing
The surf that overtake all
Washing away the traces
