Sunset

Time suspended in the deep corners of my mind

Standing next to infinity, I see you

Eternity comes crashing in as you slowly drift

Within and without my conscious thoughts.

I see you, holding

the sunset in the palm of your hand,

You say nothing and yet I hear everything.

Each whisper of goodbyes never uttered,

Each stolen moment meant to be mere memories

Forever ebbed in our minds

To speak and not have words

To feel and yet deny every emotion,

To be and yet slowly cease to exist.

Your silence speaks volumes

And I am forced to listen.

Slowly, sunset becomes me as I unwillingly let you go…

(Bali, here I come! Embrace me as I will do you.)
