Time bends

Time bends

Living things age

At a different rate

If I sit here

Waiting for shadows

To dance in the dark

Will the past catch up

Long enough

For me to take your hand

Its familiarity

More than a lifeline

Perhaps we can waltz

To Strauss

An odyssey

Of timeless flight

As the universe

Resets

And we begin again

With naked eyes

Searching for

The sunrise

Of a first morning
