A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

Mirrored sunsets dance upon the waters
  Within the darkening dreams of Midnight,
Where the sands lie emptied, save two lovers,
  Whose common dream reflects the fading light.

But what is to be seen when nothing is?
  Do we dare to look upon the unknown?
Where, for all time, there remains a lovers’ kiss.
  Frozen memories, forever enthroned.

The pendulum still swings within the clock,
  Suns rise and fall, the moon still greets the night.
The small hand still travels; tick-tock, tick-tock,
  Still the sands falling through the hourglass write.

    Quietly swaying, this, in time, will slow,
    While the scene remains, beyond the window.
