Time
There are times when the ghosts that haunt us fritter away and pain freezes. There are times when we feel invincible and then we bow to sickness. If I had known you would one day haunt me, I would have been there with you. I would have overcome my uncertainty. There are times when memories and words stand out and my tears fade. My eyes follow the stars as the wind pushes and pulls me. The night has no eye lids to relieve me, one by one, of my fear of being one. There are times when my thoughts are so low, like a marble without streaks. There are times when there is more to this life than the shadow of your shadow. What key do I need to meet your star? I need your hand and embrace from afar. There is never enough time to love and live. I flee from balance. Love slips between my fingers and life does not easily give a second chance. Speak the words that will intoxicate me. I am the sea, withdrawing over your footprints. I follow thee.
