Poe's Watch

What do you do when it all fades away?

The Life, The Love, The warmth of the day,

The sweet tranquil night, The sights, the sounds,

The swift, fleeting wind, The feel of the ground.

It slips from your grasp, away from your hands,

The steady, hard falling of much older sands

That once filled this glass, and now nevermore

The raven's fell crooning still perched on the door

My own deadly herald of Love I once knew

My heart softly screams as my body falls through
