Wishes and Whispers

"Wishes and Whispers"

It all came to mind one day,
that we're here for a short stay.
Blind men most of the time
all too burnt out to unwind.

Lonely strangers on a beach,
grasping at what's out of reach.
Waited for sunny tomorrows
and counted too many sorrows.

Everyone covets something
and what will a new day bring?
Days of wishes and whispers?
Love of brothers and sisters?

Where did all the time go?
Life wasn't really very slow.
We came to a place at the end,
where life and time blend.

The stories are now all told,
for I've lived and grown so old.
Never traded principles for sin,
as life rode the ferocious wind.
