Mag 262
The time had come too quickly
after a day of fun and games.
A day so filled with laughter –
a day without any shame.
But the time had come and now
they really did have to part.
He had to go his way,
and hers was a different path.
They knew it would be over,
their day out in the sun.
A day so full of laughter,
a day so full of fun.
The end was drawing nearer
with each single step they took.
Their hearts were beating heavily
as they shared that final look.
At a clearing in the forest,
in the end it came to pass.
And they held hands, together,
to make the moment last.
One ultimate embrace, and with it
one kiss to say goodbye.
He slowly drew her closer
and she tried hard not to cry.
The time came all too quickly
after a day of careless fun
and here they stand together,
now frozen in the sun.
Today no one remembers,
just how it came to be.
How lovers dreading their parting so,
turned into a tree?
Their skin a little rougher,
their hearts so dead and cold,
but somehow they are joyful now –
together – though they’re old.
For this is love forever,
unmarred by space and time,
in a world that for most people
has no reason and no rhyme.
I wasn’t going to do this, but I couldn’t resist Magpie Tales Mag 262 and the above photo. *sigh* Only one poem a day – doctor’s orders! ;o)
