…go to night
Our lives
our fleeting
momentary lives
too soon
we live those years away
too many pages of despair
one by one
springs and autumns go
seasons change
in the blink of an eye
days go to night
there is nothing but silence
as fallen petals lie
fading away
will be seen no more
our lives
are short and flickering
and then they are gone
So brief
is the moment
and there is no undoing it
