Rose Petal Dawns

In a world of rose petal dawns

And freshly mowed lawns

And the warmth of a million suns

 

There lives a child

Meek and mild

With fancies so fun and wild

 

And they never grow old

In the stories they told

And they never yet ever grew cold

 

Til’ in the place full of rose petal dawns

In the world of freshly mowed lawns

In the land with the warmth of a million suns

 

But then the warmth ceases

Cause then everything freezes

Humanity broken into a million pieces

 

And the wind grew quiet, and the birds flew away

And the child grew up in every which way

And so came the passing of every which day

 

Spent in war and in flames

When they threw around blame

When lives at stake were nothing but a game

 

And then far from a world of rose petals dawns

So far from a land of freshly mowed lawns

So far from the place with the warmth of a million suns

 

There was not a child to be found

    The clock is broken, it stopped ticking ten years ago, stopped counting how much time had passed. It is an old grandfather clock, wood of oak, and sculpted to perfection.
