Whilom

years go by in a blink of an eye
though i hold my breath
seconds dripping and raindrops too
the ocean endless deep

i turn back time and memories wake
how long has it been
i close my eyes to remember those days
lavender fields and cherry trees

once was now and sometime will be
i try to cope with my day
somewhere within black birds sing
a farewell of what has been

wind is howling
fire’s blazing
water’s rushing
all is shaking

wind is howling
fire’s blazing
all is moving
on
