past when i first saw your grey eyes shining
moonlight on my upturned countenance,
blue velvets of night caressed my own,
stars shimmered silently... soothing.
All has grown and changed
roses wilted with the maturity of the new.
In a mirror of water
pooled quietly at my feet,
i see the faded figurines of our childhood
melt back into the quicksilver
recently fallen from the clouds
slowly disappearing from about my eye.
Seasons of summer pass, giving way to winter.
feathery flakes bejewel your golden hair
until it glows like burnished silver, with mine.
frailty has joined us in our path of joy
our spirits to burst from the decrepid encasement
The emerald sheen of the grass we sat upon
cracks and crumbles with decay, like us.
Shadows grow longer,
our hushed lips utter not of when
we must go to separate homes, deep within the earth.
The tree of life dies
and Time's eternal fire cools
