One Way Life

Slow down time —

Though time flows freely, pendulum swinging

Back and forth, endlessly.

Existing at the same moment,

Deliberate, ironic —

An amusing tragedy,

Contrary to all I feel.

I sense you, a constant conflict,

Waiting, causing complexity,

Yet I see.

On the sunset road, bells ringing,

Far, far away,

They titillate your soul,

A distant echo.

True breath walks distances,

But remains outside of reach.

Colored thoughts, a naked arsonist,

Missing in action —

Born without hands,

Eyes like gates hiding shadows.

A gentle, calcified traveler,

A glimmer holds the hands of time.

Tender, like thunder.
