Only an hour here

Time beyond my control

Thoughts refuse to cohere

For me to play my role

Only an hour here

Then retreat from your lives

Biding our time till the end

I need something to survive

Forging ahead

Digging ignorance’s grave

Knowledge unearthed

Passed from the wise to the brave

The sands of time are still

While the spell takes hold

In this meeting of wills

All is heard, all is told

Our legend lives

You will remember me

My work is done

Disparate hearts made into one

This time will live forever

Minds born again

Always remember how we spent

An eternity in an hour

Trust flees

As time flies

I ask for a memory, receive

Blank stares in reply

Disparate parts

Fragments of sensations

I’m overwritten by

Ambient distractions

Fading I

Flail at mortality

I yield as

Bells sing my banality

Only an hour here

Time beyond my control

Thoughts refuse to cohere

To play my role

Only an hour here

I retreat from your lives

Biding our time till the end

I need something to survive
