Time

Time that ticks away
     seconds that fade to black

Time that reveals its treasure
     minutes that fade to grey

Time that steals your breath
     hours that fade to bleak

Time that shakes the ground
     days that fade to shrouds

Time that sparks the ember glow
     months that fade to winds a-blow

Time that fears not its place
     years that fade to space

Time that eternity becomes
     with you no more setting suns
