Waiting Unlimited

Time breathes through this mortal skin
Leaving younger days behind
Wreaths being placed on the unmasked kin,
this is our last goodbye

Time creeps down the unearthed mind knocking,
knocking, knocking
we have lost this tasteless rind
leave your carvings to the sculptor

Time slashes hoping hopes
Brewing like the school cook's broth
The young lover elopes
Ah! Foolish memory

Time memorizes this rattling rain
Gloom written on every cloud
Gray, gray, gray pain
The clock stops ticking

This is our wait.
Our scrupulous patience!
