Mandrake Moments (touched By Time)
Shelter me from what I feel
For what I know should not be real
Silence breaks into my mind
I listen to its voice divine
A single moment, touched by time
So useless with Thy words combined
Growing through the past of mine
Nothing yet remains
I wipe at their deceitful fate
Wipe that all their pain is desolate
Remember now what could have been
If only they could learn to see…
Painful seems it, death to serve
Through broken mirrors I observe
Birth again, and all the same
I watch them slowly pass away
A single thought by fear disturbed
What I now swear shall not be heard
No modern mind will know these words
Since all have passed away
