the day before the rest of your life

©Tom Lane

focus...ready?  i can do this, its not so tough.  

the clock ticks by as i listen patiently

tick tock, spinning hands that drop the seconds

soon will be next

next will be gone

   

and then?

you.

quietly we sit enjoying the mindless banter

the words we share that meant so much

and now?

more, less, does it really matter...

its lovely when we get to make believe

and wish of wonders that may only be in the moments 

right now.
