Life Passes

Life Passes

Every second of pleasure
With each minute of strife
Every moment you measure
Every day in the life

Every instant you wonder
When the time comes to die
Every moment you ponder
Life passes you by

As you touch with your fingers
As you gaze through your eyes
You cannot hold desires
You cannot see through lies

Though the heart can be broken
Through the world may seem dead
In the words that are spoken
In the books that are read

When the Universe trembles
When the mountain tops cry
And the thunder like cybals
Life passes you by

--Daryl Molen
