We’ve found ourselves

Cradled in the arms of time

As it rocks us to the sleep

But for every second that ticks we cannot hear

We are lost in the moments of unrestrained laughter

And bouts of sadness that stain our pain strucken faces

We’ll find ourselves wanting to escape the hold of time

To not hear it sing

To not fall asleep when the time comes…

For life is too precious to let go of without a fight.
