Racing with Time

Remember that day?

We met in an open field, years ago

Walked hand in hand

Promised to never let go

Strumming under sunlight tender

Was dawn's freshest air

Caressing abundant green, Our hearts

Struck by boundless joy

Who were we? Where from? Our roots?

The past was a blur, really.

The present golden; Our dreams

Took flight into a future unknown

We walked, We sprinted

Panting for breathe,We ran...

Now! This moment, when our bodies are warm

Let's embrace in each others arm.

And I ran my fingers

Through the contours of your face

It felt like cold metal

How come I was numb?

The air was heavy

My chest hollow

My face chipped away

The limbs pulled down

Our wings clipped, roots strewn

The future was present;You, inanimate,

As I crumbled to dust,

The storm was gone.
