Sonnet

You look behind your dreams
And see a distant shadow
Guess that you haven't seen it
Many years ago

Try to remember
But your efforts are in vain
What it is, you wanna see
It has always been the same

You hear a song
With special memories are conjoined
You troubled all day long
No solution is to find

You feel the deep gap
Between love and your fancy
What it is, you wanna see
Your thoughts in brain are dancin'

All beauties we have had
Are blown away through time
Each challenge ever done
Is nothing worth a dime
Man wins all fights
But time he'll never conquers

All pleasures we have loved
Are shadow, dust and wind
All lovers we have loved
Appears as memories' hint
Noone has ability
To look into eternity

What is our life at all?
We're useless, sinful creatures
We never have been free
Cause Men is just a fool

Suffering's our fate
We're never more than tools
Of players playing monarchs
They influence our features

The show of life is done
Like storm destroys a flower
Our beloved yet have died
Are cut out off our minds

Our memory is transitory
Noone will ever find
Each day, each night
Each month, each year
We're faced by times' great power

Send me a darkened dream
Appearing in astral nights
Leaves with a stream
But letting fear and pain inside

All of us, our name and pride
Honour, peace and love will leave too soon
All humans breathing now
Once vanish in the air

All humans follow us
In tombs they never care
Who are we?
We're only smoke destroyed by strong winds
Who are we?
We're only smoke destroyed by strong winds
