Written October 6, 2003. The first line is taken from Galadriel's voice-over in the prologue of the Fellowship of the Ring movie: "Much that once was is lost, for none nowlive who remember it." If you like what you see here, please leave me a review and let me know!

---------------------

What once was is lost
What should be is gone
The present is empty
And time trudges on

The days simply crawl
The weeks pass me by
The sun and the moon
Play leapfrog in the sky

And the sky first is gold
And then blue and then black
The hands of the clock
I can no longer track

Is no one out there
Who feels just the same?
For I am being crushed
In this sick cosmic game.
