The breeze catches you once more You know that this is a new moment You feel it in the weather as its cold before the rain pours It takes you away and you feel light sensing a drifting sentiment You wonder if you were ever present in this future nostalgic state You try to capture the memories of old but they miss you and you are late You begin to realise that this is new and you have to take it all in The trees speak a secret language and you figure this has been spoken before If you can just concentrate and shut the noise and amplify the words you'll win Just to hear what they say but this is a different tone and change is what you abhor This sensation takes you on tour and assures that a new day is born Now you gather yourself and calculate How do the vagaries of nature calibrate? You wonder what the birds must be singing about because they suddenly levitate How could you miss it? The big lesson, maybe next time you will not hesitate You will embrace each chance to dwell in the romance of each grain of sand in the hour glass You soon accept this is the present that has been gifted and you owe it to yourself to bestow life with your utmost dedication This age, this hour, this passing moment is yours and you release that with or without you life will go on Your absence an abstract figure that reduces in significance as another has their ride on the swing of precious time It will never be the same but memories will remain and the moments you will treasure as that is your conscious gain.
