"Some say that time is like a river,
flowing swift and sure in once direction.
But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you:
Time is an ocean in a storm."  -The Prince of Persia*


i lie awake wondering where the Days have gone.
so many plans for the break lie in ruin,
victims to the ravages of Time.
nothing accomplished, nothing lost.
Time stood still as the Clock ticks on.

Seasons pass like Hours and i wonder
where do they all go?
the Summer heat seemed to last Forever
but the sudden chill of Winter means Eternity
can't come Soon enough.

a Year long gone floods over me and my mind Rewinds.
what i would not have given to go back, just for a Minute,
and bask in her smile one more Time.
absorbing every wave of the Hand

the Future looms on the horizon
and i crave to run forward.
so many promises left to fulfill.

if i could just stay here.
Now
with you, just as you are
just one more Day.

Tomorrow never ends.
last Week is always waiting.
remember your Future plans
Years forgotten are ever Present.
