Changing of the Guard

By Bruce Clifford 

 

Changing of the guard
Quiet and loud
Ships passing in the night
The frequent, the proud

Living the dream
Fire and ice
Some stay in the shadows
Others never think twice

Are you ready for the change
Or are you too set in your ways
Living for what once was
No tomorrows only yesterdays

Are you ready for the fight
Or are you hiding from the light
Too many questions and empty days
No tomorrows only yesterdays

Changing of the guard
Light and dark
Ships passing one by one
Finding answers should never be so hard

Are you ready for the change
Or do you never take the blame
Dreams that make your mind at ease
Memories that could never be the same
