Forever

 
Have you seen the weathered pebbles
smoothed and softened by the tides
that glisten in the sunlight
when the water first subsides;

Or felt the lush green mosses
dripping from the ancient trees
that have lived throughout the ages
kissed by rain upon the breeze.

Have you bathed in faded starlight
underneath the velvet sky
from the oldest stars in heaven
that entice the dreamer’s eye

Imagine how forever feels 
while floating on the wind 
as it circles round the earth and back
time and time again

But darling we've already 
had forever, can’t you see 
in a moment, in a breath,
when you made time stand still for me
