Along shores of windswept time Far away from my conscious mind Lies a place of virgin grace Where water sparkles a vintage wine There I am to cleanse my soul Torn apart by this growing hole Its light devoured by night Heeding not the thing it stole Time is short and fading fast Descending from now unto the past And in this place of virgin grace I wish that time could last Unto this place I speed along Seeing all and what went wrong Taking bits of me from reality Until I am totally gone |

Time is short and fading fast Descending from now unto the past And in this place of virgin grace I wish that time could last Does that place have an address? GPS coordinates? *S* The tone of the ending is bleak... but sometimes looking back is the only way to step forward. May you like what you see, my friend... as much as I like the words from your pen! |
