Time's Flight

Together we felt the caresses of the breeze Together we heard the song of the rain Drowned in love’s ecstasy We had a vision of the paradise Hands clasped, hearts entwined Beauty abundant, love ripe A pretty picture we made Crowned in the glory of affection abound Beauty, delight and love mingled Petrified us into submission Trees danced, wind whistled Above our bowed heads We lived and lived in the heart of love Drank from its well, rested in its lap The air was thick with the spring of life Blossoms were all around Moments passed, feelings subsided A fleeting image it all became Vanished from the sight and mind both A victim of time’s inscrutable flight.
