Sometimes it seems
life passes you by
gliding away
out of your reach
try to slow it down
sound roaring in your ears
tears streaming
you can't wrap your fingers around it
it keeps going by
death seems so near
can't tear yourself away
fast enough
before you reach the end
it tearing past you
going to fast
you can't get a grip
life slids through your fingers
leaving your finger tips dazed
