Sands of time...
The sands of time that seem to keep falling
Moment a time through hourglass of eternity
The sands of time that are wet below your feet
As you walk along the shore, the waves arrive
To cool your feet, to bring you relief and a smile
Erase the footprints, the names you left behind
They keep coming in a while, with a hope alive
They die at your feet, but the hope doesn’t die
The sands of time that simmer below my feet
As I tread this vast expanse of a lonely desert
To reach the faraway mirage of the lovely oasis
It keeps distancing itself as I reach out to touch
Unquenched thirst grows within, parched and dry
Akin to these grains of sand that water my eye
We walk on the sands of time…
The sands of time that seem to stand still
Every moment that we walk side by side
