Swift Hours
Swift as shadow, swift as flame,
Nothing lingers, none remain.
A heartbeat lost, a breath, a spark
Then silence claims what raced the dark.
The falcon dives, the blade takes flight, The stars burn out in one long night. The river runs, the faces fade All swift, all gone, all unafraid.
No hand can catch the fleeing hour, No crown resists its final power. The world was born, it shifts, it drifts All ends are certain all is swift.
