Seldom though eventually His words will wash away The human mind's a yawning sieve That siphons thoughts away For all we are is flesh and blood And dust, in all due time His face embedded in my thoughts Will someday leave my mind. Each grain of sand; each thought of him Will slither down the glass Slow and steady, one by one Until he's in the past. For now my mind's a youthful cache, No wave can wear or wash Impressions left upon my soul Cannot be staved or quashed. -Un-rhymed Notes- *Every once in a while The human mind is all it's built up to be; A sieve, where the balm of time slowly mends and knits The torn edges of the chasm. Every once in a while It is as if the wound has healed And the flow of muscle memory Ripples beneath the unmarred surface*

The Mind is a Sieve
Seldom though eventually His words will wash away The human mind's a yawning sieve That siphons thoughts away For all we are is flesh and blood And dust, in all due time His face embedded in my thoughts Will someday leave my mind. Each grain of sand; each thought of him Will slither down the glass Slow and steady, one by one Until he's in the past. For now my mind's a youthful cache, No wave can wear or wash Impressions left upon my soul Cannot be staved or quashed. -Un-rhymed Notes- *Every once in a while The human mind is all it's built up to be; A sieve, where the balm of time slowly mends and knits The torn edges of the chasm. Every once in a while It is as if the wound has healed And the flow of muscle memory Ripples beneath the unmarred surface*
