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.
