There was a time
where the forest, green upon green,
climaxed in an endless communion
of things yet to be.
The pines whispered omens of the
finite distance,
the frolicking yearlings
keeping a vigil to toll the time.
Quietly searching,
your hand touched mine...
and we knew love.
And now, years long past,
I retrace each day with words,
the pages drenched with sobs
seen only by me.
I scan the universe
for a fragrance of times past
but there is nothing...
there is nothing.
Yet in quiet times,
your hand touches mine...
and I remember love.
