Time Keeps Moving

Time Keeps Moving

A day, a week, months and years
A time of opacity, few smiles, many tears
The black flower of civilized society I am within these walls
When your sun rises, the moon in here falls
But time keeps moving...

Hearts still beat, minds continue to wander
Of the starlit November night or the springs blue yonder
Dreams still floating down the halls of my mind
Caught in the air by memory, forever suspended in time
And time keeps moving

All things change, from one day to the next
So I've learned to be patient instead of feeling vexed
Calmed by the presence of parchment in care
I have reasons to smile says the gray in my hair
Time keeps moving

So I float on the waves of this ageless current
Finding peace and stillness through the minds of contentment
Obtaining what I need by expecting only nothing
And listening for my breath while time keeps moving
Because time keeps moving
