Time passes by
Relentless in its sweep
Gathering pace as minutes turn into hours
And days into months
Our lives becoming rolled up
into a moment of many dreams and visions
heartbeats existing within the single inhalation of breath
so fleeting, we can never catch the sound
as we exhale
Life, so very short
So enjoy this here moment
Embrace the soul who sits with you
In lover’s sweet encounter
Time passes by
this time
Slow in its embrace of life
A lingering whisper of thoughts
And bleary-eyed visions
Which glide out to the ocean
A mist of memories
lightly dancing on the frontier of existence itself
Life, still so very short
So enjoy this here moment
Embrace the soul who sits with you
In lover’s sweet encounter
Time a precious commodity
The treasure of all treasures
Unique in its power
A totality of control
yet empowered it reigns with
elegance and grace
No boundaries, nor guidelines
No walls to bounce off from
No written script, no standard guidelines
Free like the dove which sits in our hearts
Life, so very short
So enjoy this here moment
Embrace the soul who sits with you
In lover’s sweet encounter
