Am I waiting between worlds, this sigh of a moment caught in a lens
The image of a look, a flicker of hope, a flame burning to extinction
One Last breath reveals a lifetime of pain, laughter, the weakness of flesh
Desires and tears through a smile hiding fears and I mock myself.
How soon these years expose a time too soon, the scream of a child to the rattle and his offsprings tears.
Gone, not forgotten, not quite yet...but soon time ebbs and the tears we wept they forget.
Time passing, we keep asking but cannot hold the flow
We strain, each moment, hoping to stem the tide alas gone in a flicker
The candle light dims on the nursery rhymes that echo in a mind lost in searching for that moment to hold eternally.

How I fear that final shadow cast and lost as time runs out.
We are not eternal you nor I, just dust...

Feathers on a breeze through time, pictures of innocence, and we shall fade...
You and I, us and them, we and all.
Those moments....I cherish....those times I crave.....lost.
Only in my mind now, that lonely place, where only I hear the laughter and feel that warm embrace.
I wonder if I shall play under that tree, the hours I spent feeling free..., Long that summer was in a life too brief..........
