To Catch Such Fleeting Time
On the fear of death
So scared of death
I’ve slowed my breathing
believing we’re born
with numbered breaths
Up from my depths
It bares repeating
Seething surface
secrets kept
They make my heart
beat rapid
faster
Breath can’t catch up
feeling faint
Seeing stars
before disaster
Furthest thing
from holy saint
Can’t keep the
consequences from me
Coming
tidal wave of fate
Dooming
looming
over shoulder,
if you feel it
you’re too late
