Gray Sky

Beneath the evening's gray sky
I walk the cemetery pathway
I wait for you, to say something
Looking upon Heaven's delight
The dead ensconced in their gloom
Gravestones covering each plight
Each shell of life now entombed
Their time ended far too soon
My flesh is aging, I decay
Soon I'll meet my own doom
Your life passed into the gray
Your call to me echoes and rages
I hear it, I will join you today
Before all living things turn dust
The toll of our lusts all paid
Every tombstone aligned
All the dead lay sublime
Trust of others finally betrayed
By the enemy of flesh called time
