Flowing Back

 

Flowing Back

Walking away from moments we once thought
always could last, despite the seasons changing
around us and despite the rain that falls.

We stood inside a bright eternal moment,
the briefest time that will last us forever,
a solid memory that will not crumble
and fall on down to dusty ground beneath
like many other lost forgotten moments.

We shared a time and then that time was gone
with only empty space around us both
as distances between us turned to loss.

But still that moment comes on back around
all flowing down on through the years between
and into memory, untarnished by
the times that passed and all the rains that fell.
