The sundial stands still
as its shadow crawls
drunkenly out of existence
but we will not mourn
under moonlight
and star bright
twinkling
shining
celebrate the passing
no rewinding
blinding light
soon to arrive
no tick-rock
dive
into the sunset
sail away
no regret
rise and
fall
can’t stand still
shadows
fall
shadows
all
come and go
sun melts ice
and spring melts snow
the winds of change
forever blow
green turns brown
and black turns grey
all shadows surely
fade away
but all return
for one more day
and one more day
and one more day
calf turns to cow
grass becomes hay
the milk will spoil
can never stay
what’s that you say,
you’re here to stay?
the hour will pass,
you’ll move away
the pain won’t last
she’s day to day
soon, she’ll pass
no need to pray
we’re born,
we die
today lets play
though sun has set
the moon gives light
though even on
a moonless night
the stars they shine
the owl takes flight
take pain
and pleasure
without fright
the lights will dim
we’ll lose our sight
but hair grows long
from high and tight
theres no such thing
as endless night
or endless day
or endless flight
the birds all land
to cats delight
and shadows move
until the night
but they return
at dawn’s first light
birds fly again
no room for fright
light fades to dark
dark fades to light
light fades to dark
stars shine so bright
light fades to dark
stars shine so bright
