the hands of time stood deathly still
the winds had ceased to blow
and silence settled on the land
like softly falling snow
it seemed an ancient prophecy
at last had come about
for all things stood the way they were
the day that time ran out
and everyone regretted
the life they’d left behind
they knew they’d do much better–
if they only had more time
