Till There's No Time

For CJ

A second passes
Unnoticed
The eyes blink
A minute of a child in the arms of her Father
Eternity looks on
An hour’s worth of running down the hill
And rolling over the sea of grass
A child’s bliss
A day of turning at the axis of the earth
Somebody’s caught, left behind
Time waits for noone.

As the tide rises
as it falls back
the moon lets go
of all its months
barrels upon barrels
of photographs and artifacts
are rolled over the river until
the years, as tide, rise
to wash them all away.

We couldn’t but watch
For we are caught in the web of time

Shadows lengthen till darkness takes over
However, billions of stars
Are awake tonight
On the road shedding light
‘til we come to the other side
Where the sun shines
And there’s no time.
