Beauty is timeless

Beauty is timeless:
It lies far beneath the skin
Where no one can see

The years pass you by:
Time is but an illusion
I still remember

Dream by the river:
I am turning into you
A life not well lived

Tears of ice and cold
Falling from heaven like snow–
Warm while you hold me

A heart long broken
Aching more strongly with time–
You have had your fun

Darkness in the sky:
Owls hunt mice in the shadows
The circle of life

Red-headed woman
Beautiful in candlelight–
A dream slips away
