we spend so many of our days
just trying to pass the time
barely looking out the window
to see that life is passing us by

the sun sets and the sun rises
method becomes routine
as we move along
with robots in our minds

days become months
months melt into years
are we standing steady and still
or facing our faults and our fears

when the sun and the moon
take their final spin
will we have been satisfied
with the way we've lived-

how we've passed the time?
