The clouds are resting
on a sleepy sky, they
are locked like lovers in
their tender embrace
waiting for the sleep
that never comes
the wind blows, it keeps
them moving, they dance
like me on the wings
of time, he carries me
away into the ring
of void in the black sea
of my troubled heart
emotions like waves
toss me near and far
who steers my boat so brave,
is it me, am I in control?
Or is it time, my friend
from the days when all
was easy, when he was spent
in joy and laughter, when
his face was young and he
smiled at me then
Now he is my enemy
a ghost I fear every day
when he shows me the scars
that bury their ugly way
into my mirror, they are
the shadows of time
my companion has left behind
