Analysis of Life Erodes
Life erodes the time yet left to fill…
Of life’s moments; except when time stands still.
Does life go on or do we just move along?
In life’s game of chess, are we queen or pawn?
How reflective a spark?
How introspective that remark?
Where have you been from there to here?
Know you nothing of my strength nor fear.
Show you something of strength inside?
Show you inside my mind?
Show you things I’ve tried to hide?
What exactly do you expect to find?
