Time

Time is eternal, yet our share is not.
As sure a flower will rise in spring,
with floret each lush in violet;
‘twill wilt and tarnish in autumns wing.
As true the passing of fugacious youth;
the sun will fashion into the moon.
The tide will rise and steal the truth,
but lower and leave before too soon.
As with the beat that so follows the hand,
the world will whirl and wreath the sun.
It is forever, the moving of sand,
the growth of green and rivers run. As sure as the constant ticking of time;
our ephemeral share will duly run dry.

Light

I drift and I fly, Floating to the sky, Soaring so high, With a final goodbye. Breath has left me, Despite my plea, But in harmony, I'll let things be.

Time To Play

Play with the dragonflies, Before forever dies, The world is too late to save. Why can't we live in peace, When all too soon we'll cease. To enjoy the life we crave.

Twinkle

(inspired by @earthbound, others have done them also, so those authors as well.) Twinkle twinkle little star, I already know what you are.

Evanescence

The pale skin is tightened, Pulled across the shattered bones, Wrapped around the once pure veins in vain, Of shielding from the stones.

The Delicate Veil

The delicate veil between life and death Flirt with one another under heavy breath Death teases life, playfully crude Pausing for a breathy interlude Can death bring life to it's side Or will life...
