Clockwise

I have seen

Their childhood

Fly away

Like an impatient bird


Hastened
By an hurried clock

Beating too fast


Leaving
The magic
To a past

That yet
Looks like
Present

The run
Toward
An early flight

Traitor
Time

Insidiously

Had caught us

Elsewhere

So busy
With this crazy Fight
Struggling so hard

Still
The vital
Reciprocal
Necessity

Of A kiss

On the forehead

A sweet hug

To comfort

Some Funny words

To take a breath

To feel alive

And see a smile

Of Revival

A signal

Of rebirth

Out of the Dark

A lullaby
To calm down

The fears

The invincible
Blood
Flowing
Across the miles
Beyond Silence
Powerful
And Serene

From them to me
From me to them

(For L. & M)
