A hundred thousand

moments pass me by

 

& still light glistens

on the leaves

 

the world replays

this seamless dream

 

this life.

 

We had our chance

it seemed too much

 

to bear

 

your violent love

your heavy step

 

yes, something in me

met you there

 

& left you broken

on our private shore.

 

A hundred years

it passes like a day

 

& still the light

lies golden o’er

 

the stream

 

you & I are dreaming

in our sleep

 

forever in this moment’s

fragile thought.
