the day time stood still!

today i retraced my steps

went back to the beginning

of time

much before the world

was created

and much before

i reached out to you!

there too

i was searching for you

and i kept looking

at the horizon

for you to appear

and i waited,

through births, and deaths

through creation and destruction

through the waxing and the waning

through ebb and neap tides

through heaven and through hell!

and as i watched

you brushed past me

and turned and said you were sorry

and smiled with your eyes

and moved on.

that's when

my world as it existed

came to an end,

time stopped still

and another chapter

was begun on a new page.

now the moon has found

its orbit around the star

and it keeps moving in

closer over the millennia

waiting for the day

when it will eventually

be sucked in completely

and get completely

obliterated!
