A Moment In Time

A moment in time A so-gentle touch that was given in passing Just 'Good morning', 'Hello', nothing more, Saw the years fade away and raw feelings emerge From a dusty and locked secret door. The sea was caressed By fingers of light, Grass swayed on the dunes Like lost dreams in the night. That soft gentle touch brought to life shattered dreams Of love time had hidden away, A mere page in a book that is dog-eared and worn Was opened by chance here today. A mere moment in time Not knowing the truth Yet wishing to feel A lost love from my youth. The reason it ended lies lost in a mist That swirls through a time cluttered mind, Still the pain gathers pace and each day takes it's toll Of a farewell I can't seem to find. Her mystical eyes Left a festering hole That is open and raw In my wandering soul. Life carries on in it's time honoured way Yet that moment is still out of reach, When I thought new found love would stay there by my side As we walked hand in hand on that beach. The world wends it's way While the tides rise and fall But the past is still deaf To my echoing call. Just a moment in time unheeded it came, like a fresh breath of life, invading my thoughts ever calling her name.
