Days slipping

Diamonds, slipping from a thread of gold

Falling to the dusty floor.

Catch them

Catch them in a blue velvet bag.



Weeks dropping

Tears, dropping from human eyes

Landing in the sapphire sea.

Catch them

Catch them in a crystal pitcher.



Years drifting

Feathers, drifting from wings that once soared

Floating into the dark abyss.

Catch them

Catch them in a silver bowl.



Lives flying

Clouds, flying through depths of height

Scattering to caress the earth.

Catch them

Catch them with cupped hands.



Time ebbing

Souls, ebbing into sleep

Washing into the eternal ocean.

Catch them,

Catch them in a shining net.



Guard them,

Guard them with selfless love.



See them,

See every flaw and every perfection.



Remember them,

Remember them

When they no longer remember themselves.
