This Too Shall Pass

Come dilute my arrogance
Of summer's warmth and sweet blossom air
Remind me I am fragile
Blessed with food and clothes to wear
The sun is white within these memories
Its warmth only felt through tempered glass
Company please subdue me
Let me know winter shall pass
Promise me this too shall pass

Seize the joy of laughter pure
That once embraced your ribs like a rope
Glorify that very moment
Lеt nothing steal your hope
Therеin lies secrets of childhood gone
And all the innocence it cast
Bodies age and entomb you
And eventually they shall pass

But I promise you this too shall pass

We're more certain of death
Than how we should live
And seasons roll over too fast
But nothing prepares
For the first fall of snow
Forgetting that this too shall pass

But I promise that this too shall pass

Help my mind to
Un-entwine the patterns
I have bound myself within
