POETRY

In And Out Of Time

the sun has come

the mists have gone

we see in the distance

our long way home

i was always yours to have

you were always mine

we have loved each other

in and out of time

when the first stone looked up at the blazing sun

and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor

I have always loved you more

you freed your braids

gave your hair to the breeze

it hung like a hive of honey bees

i reached in the mass

for the sweet honeycomb there

ahh... God, how I loved your hair

you saw me bludgeoned by circumstance

lost, injured, hurt by chance

i screamed to the Heavens

loudly screamed

trying to change our nightmares

into dreams

the sun has come

the mists have gone

we see in the distance‎

our long way home

i was yours to have

and you were always mine

we have loved each other

in and out,

in and out,

in and out of time...
