Today I sit upon my chair
and watch the world unfold beneath
The stories that I see in there
I to you, for now, bequeath
I see age in specks of dust
A lifetime carved in wood
Time's corrosive touch in rust
Just like a lover could
My eyes open to the Sky!
And there I see the stars
But look down, and time flys by
With speeding headlights of cars
Look to the rain, wisdoms countless
The same water fell on Rome
I speculate, with reasons doubtless
Civilizations last shorter than stones
You may think I ramble insanely
That my mind has truly blown
But these thoughts forever chase me
And will leave me utterly alone.
