Encompassing the world like a siege upon the castle
For buried mementos scavenged from a time capsule
Waves unable to move forward due to stubborn sand dunes
Plums ripe under harsh sunlight shrivels them to prunes
Holding hands
Basking in the peace
Holding hands
Where all conflict cease
So tired
Retired
Holding hands
Falling asleep
Pulled into the earth like a vampire so desperate to die
For losing loved ones due to old age is so depressing to survive
Flames unable to be extinguished for lack of air in the lungs
Hearts pump under silent moonlight exposes them to dust
Holding hands
Basking in the peace
Holding hands
Where all conflict cease
So tired
Retired
Holding hands
Falling asleep
