Space

                                                                  

The present is so frantically now,

While the past is passing so fast,

I can hardly assess, anymore,

Where the former takes up

As the latter abandons its task

Of remembering so much unhappiness;

The future gazes impatiently.

 

And almost, I can't ask

How it is that pain forgets to feel,

Travails lead to healing,

For the spirit's regeneration,

Dreams' fresh starts,

Hearts bounding back

From despair, resignation.

 

But as I think of you, tonight,

Renascence invites me to worship

At the altar of unaging love,

Renew my youthful vows

To pursue life passionately,

And a tear baptizes my cheek,

Erases all the grief.

 

Within infinities of infinity,

You and I, lady,

Negate every suggestion

That the past, present, and future

Have the slightest relationship

To anything resembling time.

They're the space that takes our shape.
