The Hours - Nits

When the hours

When the hours of the day

Grow long like shadows

Every hour

Every hour is a day

Every day is like a year

I didn’t see the darkness in your eyes

I didn’t know the road was ending

Cul de sac

The blossom

When the blossom in spring is falling

Like snow

The rain

When the rain in autumn is falling

Like diamonds

When you’re a child

Summer never ends

Frozen time of the winter

Things are old when we are young

Things are young when we are old

Then the rain falls back into the sky

Like a fountain

Then the snow falls back into the sky

Like powder

Then the years

Then the years will be days

Days will be hours

Then it’s

Gone
