The Winds Of Time Poem by jim hogg

The air was soft upon
your silken cheeks
The sky was blue
The world was turning round
But so slow we never knew
If we fell, well that was fine
We were heroes in our dreams
And miracles were real

But the winds of time were blowing
Though not through our world then
We would all be there forever
And the fun would never end

The breeze was blowing through
your gypsy hair
The clouds were few
And I'd found paradise
When I was walking out with you
And the starlit nights we shared
I built my dreams upon
But I wished the days away
And too soon you were gone

Yes, the winds of time were blowing
Though not through our love then
We would always be together
And our love would never end

The moon skis through the clouds
that skim the sky
We drift below
A band of brothers who
Never knew what they could do
We went marching off to war
With so many years in store
And the dragons we would slay
Became dreams of yesterday

Oh the winds of time were blowing
Though not through our dreams then
We would all be here forever
And this life would never end

The barley bends before
the gale that blows
The waves are high
The leaves will soon let go
And the birds prepare to fly
And through golden and through blue
Through the threads of all we knew
Though we never felt it then
Blew the ruthless winds of time

Oh the winds of time are blowing
Through nameless fleeting days
From tomorrows come too slowly
To the good times thrown away

The robin's song so pure
On the air so still and clear
And memories so sweet
They circle everywhere
And now everything we've been
Slipping gently from our grasp
As the storm clouds gather round
To sweep away our humble past

Now the winds of time are howling
Through nameless fleeting days
And though we never dreamt of losing
There's no way we'll win this race
