Poem of the Moment

words in time, now is forever here

I need to write a poem,

     these words are crying for escape,

     like seeds falling from a dry flower,

     like wind carried up the mountain's face;

Words displaying emotion,

     let the page be filled with names,

     like all creation a new life develops,

     like the tragedy of time spent in vain;

I have only one love now,

     and she stays resolutely by my side,

     like the sands of the oceans battered shore,

     like the clouds of the air out of reach;

It must go on the show,

     then we will discover the cause,

     like hope evolving on a cool spring breeze,

     like despair that roots every mortal being;

The rest is all there is,

     and in discovery it is all concealed,

     is it the story of escape that enslaves me,

     is it the belief in the free that imprisons us?
