The Centuries Beat In Vain

And when the days whirl around you
Grasp a moment, hold it tight
Anchor for a second
I’ll try to help it last the night
Not to be existential
Still carried in the back of my mind
Twirling evermore, or until the stars are aligned 

Once more, help me find the reason
New years spilling so fast
Eternity insuring - nothing at all will last

Perhaps we’ll find a purpose 
Echoing through the centuries 
Reaching through time
Fragmented in the breeze 
Either found or created
Create this moment with me
To return to always in memory

Memories may become tainted 
Old feelings tend to wane 
Maybe we can make them 
Echo evermore, once more again
Nary a doubt that - against one perfect moment
The centuries beat in vain
