From Paper to Sand

this tattered earth i walk amongst
i see the results of simplest foolery
plants still grow, i witness rebirth
i no longer try to swin in this pool of me

tired bones and muscles torn
i sink into the depths of the planets core
this is where all light dies in scorn
and raindrops fall from eyes no more

i feel the wind surrounding me
blowing everywhere ive gone to dust
they could not see it coming
gravity was given and left them crushed

a clock spins, but time matters not
no longer is life too short or long
a few believed history repeats itself
it's true unless your future is gone
