through graying skies you and I sit content gazing upon the sole world we will ever know as white powdered drifts surround us covering our faces and tongues tearfilled eyes a delicate symphony
we linger in this time you and your funky chicken, me with my floral schemes and dream of the other whither this is now or tomorrow
we dream on
this is not a timeless time or an endless end but a now as present as here with no pending issues to stop us from this breath, this intake of life
our time in now and we are together
moving flowing faster still
hands swelling as backs bend clicking heels we hardly catch our breaths
one day you will sit alone for a while or will it be me? one of us will wait with cool delicate fingers and closed eyes
our immediate most precious moment white powdered snow in the sun
timeless and forever

"one day you will sit alone for a while or will it be me? one of us will wait with cool delicate fingers and closed eyes" Oh, such feelings of love and loss! Live for today - so beautifully expressed.
