Chasing one more time
Waiting for so long
Living in a past that's long since gone
Tomorrow is already spoken for
---
And why not when you find yourself there
Only so much about this life is ever new
By the time you're facing the blackness of tomorrow
Chasing down that one more time seems fair
---
What would it be for the chaser's delight
A song ringing repeatedly in their minds
Voices of the past are always there to remind us
Of the better times before time itself washes them away
---
Wandering through the looking glass
Diving deep into a forgotten past
As the waters begin to crash against the sands
Looking at things that disappear all too fast
---
Time comes for us all one day
And feeling its grasp causes wonder
When it comes to the young, there's less tomorrow
What to do with one more time
---
To feel the soft touch of one more hand in yours
See the smile of someone special
Watch as they run with reckless abandon
Then listen as they comb the mysteries of the world
---
Dancing under the stars in the pale moonlight
Stopping to steal one more kiss
Enjoy that look of wonder aimed your way
That feeling of being the only one in the world that matters
---
Beaten up and too old, you think
But one more adventure could be afoot
A soul's purpose doesn't recognize age
And into the fires, when needed, you'll run
---
The sweet relish of memories not forgotten
Visits with old friends and ones who got away
To remember how close you were to being happy
Before time and fate pushed closed that magic door
---
Now comes the miracle of it all
Tomorrow's shrinking faster and faster
All the loss, the pain, and the sorrow
Soon to be washed away like the tides washing away the sand
---
The sands of time are missing on both sides
Lines growing closer and closer
Could give me that one more time
Or the tides crashing in will ease the fractured mind
---
The darkness grows in front of the soul, searching for another
A massive wave comes washing in
Smothered by the all-mighty truth of it all
The final tides come, and you're out of time

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
