Dust to Dust

Journeying through the universe,

Across all time and space.

Seeing how things move through time,

Seeing what time's defaced.

…

Cities tall in grandeur,

To be felled in rage.

And I have to sit and watch,

For all the world's a stage.

…

From stone to bronze to iron,

Three steps not always made.

Some species fall, I can only watch,

As into history they fade.

…

Land falls into water,

Nature reclaims its place.

Eventually all comes to dust,

It's seen through time and space.

…

I cannot mourn, I cannot judge,

Can't change what must always be.

Have to turn away and continue on,

Sailing time's empty sea.
