Sentient
i remember standing there on the deck
the sun hadn't even started
to yawn across the sky
yet there were splashes of amber
against the ebony backdrop of night
mingled with stars
i felt like i could see forever
and thought i saw it in your eyes
as you held me close
i didn't want to lose that moment
or see day begin and night end
but with every end is a beginning
and every beginning has an end
somewhere in time
even something as beautiful
as that or this can be replaced
but never erased from memory
of mind
every moment rises
like every morning's sun
sometimes it's beautiful
sometimes it rains
i can taste it in the rain
as a string of yesterdays
cloud my thoughts
and i close my eyes
resurrect us again
and see forever
momentarily
