A Study in Time

Certain moments, so fleeting and wistful, pass us by,
Like golden hues carrying magic,
And we only realize,
When it all comes to an end, illusory and tragic.
.
.
.
Magic, apocalypse, death and mystery,
Worlds upon worlds await your arrival,
Minutes and hours flit by as you play games with reality,
Each universe with its own illusive time revival.
.
.
.

Snowflakes, as sharp as crystals and as subtle as fairy dust,
Dance around me, as I turn and turn and turn,
Time slows down to that one single moment,
As infinity clings to the glistening winter fern.
.
.
.

His palm marred with callouses, her eyes glinting stars,
They both hold on to time, soft and fluttery
Between this instant and the next, there’s half a moment
All the way down into infinity.
.
.
.

The loneliness spreads, grey, dull and morbid
Each second passing by, an eternity underway.
Time, they say, is something you’d be lucky to get a hold of,
Then why is it, that I just want it to run the other way?
