Time

i old?
just bye
blinking an eye.

time...blue
with the wind.
snow falls
in global waters.

bird's nest,
twigs and feathers
shredded to fit
life, ready to fly.

storm...thunders,
mountainous silence
calls to sadness,
echo and ring.

heaven and hell
forever battle
fates never won,
future...undone.

unopened books
sit on shelves
collecting dust,
adventures never found.

silent regrets
said to the ground,
buried in my head
forever to sound.

time...blown in the wind
never seen again.
places blow away
that we've never been.
