Time Without End

I look through the hourglass waiting for time to pass

The hours are like old traces of lines in the sand

It seems I've strayed from the path somehow

Lost in the memories of old tomorrows

Not recalling where I am, I stop for a moment in thought

A voice calls out to me in the darkness of my imagination

Take my hand and walk with me, for I will show you the way

Take my hand and walk with me, for I will lead the way

You dream of that which lies beyond, but once you're there, there is no turning back

When you walk with me, your fate has been sealed until time without end

Desiring to be enlightened at every cost, no matter the consequence

A weakness greater than you will ever know, for the means justify the end

A moment seems like a lifetime in this mindset

As if time stands still, yet the sand seeps down at a steady pace

I bend my thoughts in contemplation, challenging accepted insight

In deepest thought I am as time runs out
