Like Time

Like time we pass,
Sands in the hourglass,
We fall and fall,
Till upturned and we restart all

Like time we passed,
So many questions we leave unasked,
Turning away from what we don't know,
With our faces as giddy as fresh snow

We ask not what happens,
For our fear of life hastens,
The discord we view as not folly,
Though in the clouds our thoughts often lolly

Like time we pass,
Taking with us something crass,
Though beautiful in it's solitude,
Terrifying in it's multitude
