Time Goes On Laughing

Someone special sends songs Dancing through the hallways of eternity, Bringing beauty into brief moments With words of pure poetry, Like redolent rain drops And soft snow flakes, That so easily fall Into endless green and flowing lakes; There time swims Like a womans deep beauty, Passing by but once... laughing as she goes At us, the worn and the weary - The poets speak of her Like drunken fools, Sipping forgetful champagne At the edge of wading pools; No one truly knows What no one sees, As time moves carelessly on... Leaving us in our own dust, of old and doubtful memories; She won't be returning here Another day, Burning all her bridges As laughing she goes upon her way -
