Sands of Time

When can I walk on the sands of time  
Let it sift through the soul  
Leaving footprints behind  
For the wind to sweep away?  
 
I fell on the sand  
To have it burn me and scorch  
From past regrets and remorse  
 
Downy wings try to erupt  
From leathered and weathered skin  
To go up in a plume of smoke  
 
The sands of time have no feeling  
They do not judge  
They are just and we must walk our path
