Where Do You Stand In Time

Where do you stand in time

did yesterday already come

is your reflection but a shadow of what was

or are you standing in it as you recall it now

somehow it seems to flow

even now you feel the retreating waves tugging at your feet

washing across the sand back into the ocean that is you

don't you remember that kiss

and when if flashes across your breast

don't you feel your heart again alive reliving

and the hurt of what you seemed to lose

does it really feel like yesterday or now

broken record skipping

the same passage again repeats

that damn clicking jump

how I wish it would move on

yet as it sticks something is learned

a point well taken perhaps 

if you allow yourself to be not only annoyed

but listen to the reason you cannot hear

then it will be clear

where you stand in time

unafraid to face the future that has already come

it only awaits your footsteps into it with open eyes

unless you want to have it come again and again

in the again that means nothing but a stitch in time

just a jumping skip backward damned record

in these labels we call motion and emotion

this is your life to behold and cherish

cards already on the table awaiting your play

you tap the deck and deal again

no need to cut the cards this time

If you play the game you'll lose

even if you win

the tide always reclaims the shore

I prefer frolicking in the white foam

and yet I do choose a direction to walk

so it seems to be yet I'm always lead by something

that lives deep inside of me unseen

and that is what lead me to you

you who made time stand still

opened wide giving birth to this light

seeing the hall of painted mirrors glistening

shining our stories naked to be seen
