Time Must Pass

As the sun falls into the embrace of night
I realize just how short time can be
That item of pure infinity
Is revealed to be limited
Yet still I strive to find more
To gain more time
To keep that sun in the sky
To keep that twinkle in her eyes
Anything just to be here
In this moment longer
But like all things
It must end
The sun must cast
The shadow over the beauty
That will soon be past
So while I watch
The end of desire
I grip onto time
In hopes to keep it
From burning
Like the sun's immortal fire
