Nothing's Left First Draft
The day of birth had come with all its glow
another world, another time so old
a passing shadow through years would follow
"till" tomorrow's end will at last unfold
and will take all the memories I own
that no one could see nor would understand
this is the hourglass I have lived and known
where I count each breath and each grain of sand
the pictures I've lived between birth and death
quietly vanish when life's forlorn
never lived again nor be gathereth
it's not for me to shed a tear or mourn
when I look back I was here to explore
this life lived will never be any more
