It was for a moment; A very brief moment, That I closed my eyes; No longer then seconds passed; Before I allowed light to Invade and destroy My serenity. Seconds, that's all it took. Seconds to know that The eternity I hoped to spend with you, Was as brief as the time as my Eyes were shut.
I know my failure, And I know my regret; For that brief moment, As I sought serenity, Though only seconds passed, In my time, A millennium passed in yours. A millennium to cast doubts About my friendship.
Seconds, that's all it took. Seconds to know that The eternity I hoped to spend with you, Was as brief as the time as my Eyes were shut.
Very evocative.

As long as you know hey?...good one Cambuff, welcome back, haven't seen you for quite some time, hope you are well....looking forward to reading some more of your work....Andrew...
Thank you Odetta and Andrew. Depression and writers block can do wonders for you. Or was ithe witers block that brought on the depression? Either way it feels good to be writing again!

Dave, I suffer from both, we poets are the eccentrics of the world.

The eternity I hoped to spend with you,
Was as brief as the time as my
Eyes were shut.
Very evocative.
