Awoke from the slumber The lapse of time I have got nothing to show for it Entertained but not enlightened Recalling today For a trace of tomorrow Being one without a lifespan New thoughts must follow The daylight draws to me And the surroundings are not what they used to be Lights fill up space In a solitary place Walls consumed All the knowledge harvested along the way Watching the others This stagnant state gall the hardened heart A pace towards an early grey Is there life before death? Planted firmly with an abundance of time and no sun If there is life before death, I live it through you
