Sand

When we live we

                                Worry

                                                        For what is yet to come

                                                                                      Then when we’re close to darkness

                                                                                                                                                           Fear

                                                                                                             For what we have not done

                                                                                And wish that we had

                                                                 Taken

                         A little time to think

                  And cherish precious moments

                                              We simply once let sink

                                                                           Into the ever-growing

             Ocean of time gone by

Lost with our forefathers

                                                             Within the purple sky

                                    So turn a cog within

                     Your mechanical routine

                                           To notice life around you

                                                                           Before it’s soon wiped

Clean

                                          And grasp the opportunities

                                                                                                                        To challenge and be true

                                                                      To yourself and others

                                                                                                      But first there’s something you must

                                                                                                                                                                                    Do

                                                                                                                                       For it is truly crucial

                                                                                                                To listen to your soul

                                                                                  So when your light is fading

                                                     There’s nothing you will owe

                     To yourself or others

And you can feel assured

That all the pain and heartbreak

With darkness will be cured.
