Tempus Fugit

Silent like a tomb the city reaches for the sky I'm left alone here and I can't remember why Lying on a rooftop in a vast garden of concrete The silence echoes in the streets See as my eyes stray to pan across the barren surface as monolithic structures tower through the silence All of man's creations left abandoned without purpose I am alone yet feel its malice And while the clear blue mid-day air is feeling slightly awkward as shafts of sunlight stray across my field of view I find new perspective as tomorrow turns today and in the sky I see a soaring bird of prey staring at the trees I see them all begin to sway I sense a storm is coming my way
