Spirals and cycles
Winding, surrounding
They spin towards a stillness
Degrading to nothing
Footprints of ancients
Eroded into dust
Silencing atrophy
Landscapes of bones and rust
Spirals and cycles
Winding, surrounding
They spin towards a stillness
Degrading to nothing
Aspirations melt away by the searing promise of a new day
The shadows dissipate only to reanimate
Ripped from the megacosm
Expatiated beyond the known
Billions of lives chained to a single soul
Time spirals onward
Endlessly
Spirals and cycles
Winding, surrounding
They spin towards a stillness
Degrading to nothing
The perpetual turn of the hourglass
Reset by a new hand
A lucid reminder
What has been, will be again
