Analysis of My time is not far
My time is not far
So I’ll dance with the dead
Bless the lives lived through the trees
This spirit inside so happily cries
I’ll watch over your enemies
You’re as free as can be
With the earth underneath
Till the sacred time you return
By gods demand
A clock has no hands
To be is to love is to learn
So I’ll breathe this gift
And drink from this spring
I’ve lived well although I’ve done wrong
Each merciful moment
Awake in my mind
Says every second, so long
Let me give what I can
It’s not mine anyways
To the ones I care the most
Deduct from my privileged
Existence of soul
Just to know that it still runneth over
Let me pray for a kiss
And even if missed
Knowing smiles was worth the journey
Sweet ignorant bliss
Can we all lay claim
Morrow eyes to come with each turning
And giveth a name
Reverberant grace
The zenith is yours and alike
Watch the new star alight
Forevers surprise
the world holds us so close
For love never dies.
