Changing Winds

I never believed in forever
Or in a definitive substance of sin
There is no such thing as permanence
Everything comes to an end

(Life is a fleeting sensation
One time around the track) ...Mike Skurkis
From abject fear to elation
Our emotions are prone to attack

We strive for a sense of stability
In every relation we forge
With depreciating nobility
We sate our desires as we gorge
On life

There was a time
When all was right with the world
A sparkle still in your eyes
The wonderment of experience
Nothing between us denied
We shared the physical world
With exquisite sensation
We tended our dreams
Without limitations
But alas, an ending has come
In time, we are undone

If we should ever pass this way again
Would any of this remain?
And if I should pass before you
Would you please remember my name?
Something of us sustained
A final refrain

I never believed in forever
But that does not diminish the times
We endeavored for love
We can always strive for eternity
As the immaculate persistence of memory
Holds me here to languish alone

I remember that haunting gleam in your eyes
Whenever you looked at me
That withering doubt occluded our dream
The Changing Winds are churning
Through denial, I am learning
The eloquence of love is not what it seems

If I should ever pass this way again
I will whisper your name
