Evanescent moments occur Dwindling Fading You become less tangible When you beckon for me I cavort to your side The side of: Warmth Innocence Love The side where You read I listen only to fall into a serene slumber Where did you go? No longer can I doze without being frightened Where are you when the sun quiets? Who will save me from the silence? I cannot run My laces, uneasy Could you have tied my strings? I attempt to but, I am unable Helpless and needy Perhaps, if we had more time, I would have faith in my own knots But only you could untie those twisted painful knots! Perhaps, If we had more time, You could have taught me Not the art of you But the art of something permanent! I hold on to fugacious moments Only to realize, they are never held I hold on to you Only to realize, You are no longer there Senseless I lay there - yearning for a momentary release from my lacing

Still Naive
