Sands are wrapped in winter's moonlight,
Chilled and pressed neath storm cloud shreds.
And the sand still flows.
And a man's life glows.
Wind carries brief shards of bright light,
O'er shadowed by insects in spring flight.
And the sand still...

"I don't know if you can see, the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away.
And I've been tellin' old stories, singing songs

Thank you, mom and dad, for always encouraging me to look deeper!

OZYMANDIAS - by Percy Bysshe Shelly

Grief: Darkness and Light
