this evening i felt the breeze
i saw the beauty of the setting sun
i saw the world in its orange light
i felt the warmth of my own true smile
i stood still and my heart orbited the distant moon
fluttering its wings & gliding into the greying blue sky
i saw myself beside the road
without a care for the rushing world
a glint in the eye and arms open wide
smiling back at me, for no reason or rhyme
i felt the moments come and stop
each second was a lifetimes worth
as the sky grew dark
i saw the sun moon and stars
frozen in time i fear the thaw
sure as winter follows the summer
so will these moments soon go by
like sand it slips from my very hand
can i not hold on to a single grain?
or maybe this time
oh maybe this time
