I watch in awe

I watch in awe as the decades roll away,

Leaving an execrable scar on the face of time.

I watch in awe as the heavens boil

And the Earth beneath it rage with terror

In anticipation of a certain doom long done

Before the nefarious smile of fate.

I watch in awe as I advance here on Earth

And the brash cloud that surrounds me,

Putting a slough of sadness in my cup of tea.

My vociferous fame caused me vociferous headache,

It knocked my head like a dancing cathedral bell.

I watched in awe as I marched untrammeled

With the years marching along the same pace,

I felt I was a worn out soul without a smart

Stride though I pounced on the ground like

An army general of generals.

I watch in awe just because I live in awe,

The whirr of mortality always’ carries a deadly

Blow of air along with the copious

Worries and wonders of existence.
