While Time Passes

Time passes while our minds lie

But when closed our eyes dream in remembrance

Asking ourselves the who's and the why's

Wondering why we broke covenants

And why in times we chose to laugh or cry

These moments that have passed

Will eventually fade as the clock ticks by

But riding on a lazy weekend breeze

These times may float through our minds

And be reborn into our lives

Rewritten in the stars or in some lousy bus stop rhymes

People we miss

Tend to touch and go on that windy current

And enemies we ditched

Will try to take our vision and blurr it

And along for the ride on our windy scene

Blurred shadows of past deterrents

Will try to take over your dreams

And tears will encourage growth

The way you'd cry

To see her go

But along with the burn of the sun

Comes brightness that'll run you through cold fronts below

Or if you choose

You can flourish in the light

As your tears corrode at a life

That never could have fulfilled your eyes

It'll all come back one day

All these impactful memories

When we realize that change

Is what brought our spirits through centuries

When the people that we've met

Have all blown away with the breeze

Along with the dust

The sun and the leaves

The flowers that sprouted

Watered by the tears we've deceived

Over love and lust

Lost in blank lines with our worries relieved

Words reflect what we see in a blink

If not on paper in stars

And if you choose to love or forget

Laugh or cry about scars

Just know that your next life resides

In the life of a painters memoirs

So that one day another soul can see

What true art has achieved in minds so far
