Time is a demon Brought to bear The cloud above holds rain I look afar And ruminate A simpleton I see What has he done Where has he been A world he can’t explain Destiny Or foresight Controls his place to me If there goes he Then what must I Expect from life’s disdain If there goes me Then follow who Or no-one left to be Like the rain Held by the cloud My thoughts flow from my pain Yet sullen sense Means eye of blue Adrift in peaceful sea Yet should that sea Send pain and fear And restlessness detain Will thoughts of blue Have strength to bear Or wither quietly.
