Endless Sand

What does it mean to live forever?

Now I will sing you this lullaby

About a man who could not die

All around him the world did pass

Like an endless hourglass:

He roamed the beaches throughout the land

Counting every grain of sand,

While In and out flowed the sea

Like another passing memory

And every night the sky grew dim

The ocean always sang to him

And lulled him to uneasy sleep

Troubled by his lonely keep

But with his final conscious breath

He’d always whisper his wish for death
