Fall

We all inevitably fall.
What matters is how high we crawl,
The time we take to do it in.
Can we, mankind, pay off our sin?
Or are we bound to fall for years?
Pull up by your bootstraps my dears,
Chin up off your knees, feel cheer!
There is more than one way to win.
Perhaps we just prepare to fall.

Hourglass

Tired of playing ifs or ands
Watching the glass run out of sand
Time is foremost on my mind
Pages turn and years unwind
Tomorrow is gone, no more is the light
Anguish unbarring, the struggle, the fight
Decisions will come, time will seem brief
Taken away by the words of a thief

The Consummate Youth

Age cannot touch

Time cannot ravage

Holding steady against

The winds of eternity

They are simply a force.

One that which is stopped

By a wall of passion.

The love found in your eyes

Belies your years

You will always be

The consummate youth

A stalwart rock,

Salvation

Without whom

The stars cease to be
