The Winds of Time

The winds of time, their song now sung 

Grow strangely calm, as death draws near

No pain, no doubts, no fear. NO FEAR!

Just glad no more hands need be wrung

And sad the wise are rarely young

Remembering fate, and love, and life

Sweet triumphs won outshine the rest

And now I face my final test

My destination free of strife

The winds of time, my new found wife

All gathered ‘round, my friends and kin

To bid adieu, and make their peace

To pray my days won’t shortly cease

Strong voices rise above the din

But winds of time must always win

They’ll blow no more, the winds of time

Eternal breezes, fair and just

Though now they’re still, their dying gust

Has snuffed my breath, their final crime

They’ll blow no more, the winds of time
