Time

Time grays the sands,
with inevitable duty,
and dries the seas with reluctant pleasure,
it salts the trees by moonlight,
and turns the pages of space with a wrinkled hand.
Tarnishing blades of grass,
it strikes the desert in the night,
it makes a beginning at the end,
And all that’s left is Earth and sky.
