10 Years In Tears

Time slips between fingers

Opened in submission 

Clutched in desperation 

Flying by a train's window 

Sliding off a plane's wing

Time trapped in memory 

becomes nostalgia. 

Dissipates in the breaths

of goodbye

Dies on the whispered hopes

of a child 

Collapses woman into girl

with the necessity of survival 

Light returned to sun across 

the soul's infinity 

Ten years in tears 

Ten years in laughter

Ten years in dance

Time does not heal all wounds.
