Fractured friendships
and ruptured relationships
All fall away as one
For this swiftly fleeting glimpse
At everything around.
From the floating specks of ancient
dust that dance with swirling grace
To the rings of cigarette smoke
That hang like blossoms on trees
The sights, the sounds,
The greens, the blues
Connive to **** the cold
That comes from eyes of
icy stares and shifty shameful glares
Hold me captive, never letting go.
It's only for a moment, but anyway
I know
That soon this smoke will turn to snow.

In my world,
We were challengers
Wanderers across starlit beaches
And sun-scorched plains
We won’t be the last to walk these sands
Much less the first to move them
But for once in our lives
We can say we’ve been places
Where no one else can reach us.

All your thoughts
And hopes
And fears
Are just about made clear
By an outward facing Claddagh ring
Worn proudly on your finger
Like a wedding band betrothing you to life.
