SUNDIAL

I've been here before
Still I know that it's the same
The wind, the shelter, placid air
Another dragonfly joins my despair

Long time ago when all was me
The place I sit again, sad
This time longing for someone to hear my story
Longing for silence and a world stand still

Nothing to feed, but the air to breathe
It's so much the same
Through twisted memory


This time I see the children play
Again the life is dragged away
The laughter used to be mine
Today it's only for me to see


While it's warm there's nothing to fear
It bothers my thoughts and I wish for a tear
No matter what comes from this day
I know I'll be again
