A Fragile Breath

​

Seasons change from day to day
and time can't catch its breath
Dreams are phantoms in the night
and life holds hands with death

​

Thoughts have often come and gone
of just what might have been
Time and chance have hidden them
somewhere deep within

​

The hopes and fears of long ago
and sailed them off to sea
Tempest tossed and driven now
forever lost to me

​

Life is like a fragile breath
a vapor soon dispersed
Among the many gifts of God
throughout the universe
