On living till the end of time

Your far forgotten hands and face
Fly past the door, past earthly embrace
Where soul runs it’s sleep-flying dreams aground
And then on past the deep blue refrain we breathe,
Past kisses that could slay the need
Of the missing man’s loneliest journeys.

Moon still makes the old darkness come alive,
And the skies sun-wizened words still left some light;
Enough to brand new eyes of a child,
Or enough for finding dreams of peace
Hidden within a many colored world;
Or reflecting forever-stars, worn on a lapel,
As if living till the end really mattered at all.

To quote Woody Allen: “I don’t mind dying. I just don’t want to be there when it happens”. Terrific write Patti. Particularly love the ending. “As if living till the end really mattered at all”. Wow!

What superb phrasing - "where soul runs it's sleep-flying dreams aground" is just one which left me speechless. Grand piece.
