UNTOUCHED BY TIME

 

Wait it out

Each passing day a living dream

Eyes up, scanning the oncoming

A certain smile approaches

         You can see the heart-filled welcome

         You can feel the firm embrace

         The same searching eyes

         Some how sure the perfect day awaits

As if her beauty

Would never let her fail

Simply nod politely

And wait for the offers

         They pour in daily

         Each more full of promises than the last

         Whatever the dream needs to be

         He will offer it

Then the music starts

And the second verse

Is the same as the first

While the third repeats the original promises

         She starts the spiral

         Believe him once

         Believe it again and again

         At the end he walks off in the mist

Another world opens to her

She covers her beauty

With a unapproachable demeanor

They slide into the shadows

         Her grace remains in muted form

         Decades of humility

         Have left her untouched by time                              231128.1
