Snow

The streetlights made the endless comic cosmic darkness glow,

The night we strained to see twinkled stars, seeing only glittered snow.

We laid alone, on a snowy road, together just you and I,

Scared, I watched for cars, wondering what was out there, you watched the sky.

You mused about the meaning of our time forever fleeting,

Like the zen you feel in turbulence, your life before your eyes.

I said if we live like we are dying, won't we wonder where the time went,

You said yes, let's live like we are living, darling, time is on our side.

The blanket sound of silence kept our whispers from the streets,
You said you would live forever in that moment, if left to choose.
We laughed to tears of happiness, our secrets freezing on our cheeks,
As headlights ended our cosmic moment and we left for lesser truths.
