The Old Man's Scythe

Time, it ticks slow

As the sun rises and sets

I hear the call of the crow

Voicing all my regrets

I plant my seeds in heaps

So my future may grow

But the old man reaps

Only what we can sew.

His scythe is sharp, unforgiving

There is no going back

No matter how hard I am wishing

I can only move on, though the future is black

Blindly I stumble

Shaping the future while stuck in the past

Watching my feats crumble

I knew they could never last

The old man works his fields

Never resting, ever at work

Time never yields

And I cannot see through its murk
