You exist, as the seconds tick
conscience on the words, being read
the world is still, your soul at peace
countless thoughts swirl inside your head.
But right this second, across the Earth
a being sleeps , caught in a dream
at the other end, where the sun's emerging
a child awakens, to a cuckoos scream.
At this very moment, in a different land
tears are flowing down anothers cheeks
& as you read, under a different sky
a human smiles, at a memory
soon this moment, you spend in time
will cease to exist, like fading mist.
& this split minute, spent like a dime
is a distant memory in your mind.......

You exist, as the seconds tick
conscience on the words, being read
the world is still, your soul at peace
countless thoughts swirl inside your head.
But right this second, across the Earth
a being sleeps , caught in a dream
at the other end, where the sun's emerging
a child awakens, to a cuckoos scream.
At this very moment, in a different land
tears are flowing down anothers cheeks
& as you read, under a different sky
a human smiles, at a memory
soon this moment, you spend in time
will cease to exist, like fading mist.
& this split minute, spent like a dime
is a distant memory in your mind.......
