Inseperable

Streams of silver,
Shards of glass,
Grey-brown broken wood,
Flowing golden tears,
Memories of times gone past,
Happiness and sweet sorrow,
Lives lived and lives lost,
Broken buildings,
Boiling steam,
Time rolls on,
Clocks tick -- seconds pass,
Everything falls apart.

Statues of marble,
Mountains of stone,
Great walls dividing,
Constructing out of destruction,
Wonders out of sorrow,
Pleasure out of despair,
Insane circle,
Life and death,
Forever intertwined,
Inseperable.
