Hi everyone,
Another new one from me. This was inspired by the inscription on Salisbury Cathedral's sun dial which says "Life Is A Walking Shadow" which seems so apt on a sun dial and a great way to look at life, particularly for the older members among us. I hope you like it and feel moved to comment one way or the other.

Halting steps towards tomorrow
We'll never pass
This way again
You give your best, you beg, you borrow
All the lies you try to swallow
Are in the past
And on the wind
Burn your bridges one by one
Turn your face up to the sun
You never heard the starting gun
There's no more races to be run
All the roads beneath your feet
And all people in the street
Just dusted ghosts
Laid in the clay
Then one day you turn and listen
To all the words that you've written
But the sounds
Are far away
Burn your bridges one by one
Turn your face up to the sun
You never heard the starting gun
There's no more races to be run
In the distance crows are calling
Light is fading night is falling
Under the stars
You kneel and pray
For just another day of reason
Another month, one last season
A final time
Around the dial
