I look at tall trees
where I see brown leaves failing
and wonder am I standing still
I search for blue sky
but I find dark clouds gathering
and wonder should I turn away
Where did our time go
when life lived so simple
We were invincible too
Where did those days go
filled with endless smiles
Their glow always lighting our way
I walk to old fields
now concealed in tall weeds overrun
and wonder should I move on
I live in a home
Built of stone but always creaking
And wonder will I fade away
When did our lives change
from years to minutes
Our only limit self-imposed
When did the road turn
from hope to reflection
Direction a shadowed view
I sit in my chair
Aged with wear still unraveling
and wonder what will remain
I hear from this world
so unfurled and ever changing
and wonder will I change too
