Our Lives
May 25, 2001
Copyright 2001 Doug Pretorius

As though by the things felt and unseen
lit by the flames of our own thoughts
and feelings, we see a new tomorrow
as the dust settles and reveals the path
laid in gold and dreams
She looks at me with colorless eyes
impressions too vivid for my timid gaze
the seering heat melts all away
and we're left with who we truly are
In cosmic time it seems small and unworthy
but moments of truth are timeless and
guide our souls to a place for rest and
song, to free our hearts and fill our love
New time becomes old faster than I can think
tomorrow approachs and the future stands
tall, amongst the trees and the leaves fall
changing light patterns in the forest
of our lives
