As Time Stood Still for Us

I wish I could see your face,

Just that one more time.

I brush at the misty screen,

But it fades away from sight.

Could you dismiss the light,

On our youthful adventures,

As stars and moons flew by,

As time stood still for us.

The white blinds me all around,

The blue languishes in my mind.

The red gravitates with potential,

The green radiates with life.

Where have all the years gone?

Like a raindrop in the forest.

The shelter has crumbled to dust,

As time stood still for us.

My train has arrived at its stop,

The platform glittering with paths.

I should have taken a backward glance,

But the untamed wilderness sprang forth.

The source of life's laughter and joy,

Spun around, completely delirious.

Prismatic layers of vitality,

As time stood still for us.

The links have broken apart,

But not of nature's essence,

I close my eyes and try to imagine,

The dubious innocence.

My spirit remains earthbound,

As yours take wing to the heavens.

Gliding about in obvious freedom,

As time stood still for us.

Dedicated to life and creation.

But most importantly, to everyone who makes life bearable.

Here's to the wonder that is life.

Cheers.
