Time Flight Poem by Deborah Cromer

It is almost time now to begin
The lights go out, nobody says when
The silence is stopped, with just one word
Soon the sound soars, like a flight of the bird
To feel energy of truth, from the soul
Is warmth and life so complete and whole
In darkness you see no smiles, or dancing eyes
You can only feel this beauty, there are no lies
Often in the light, one sees only the outside
Close your eyes and look, with your mind confide
Moving objects are hard to catch and hold
Stop for once and let time breathe and unfold
What will you do, what will you say to this
Be still for a spell, if only for a kiss
The heart pounds fast with quickened race
You must know only time can set the pace
Did you ever think thoughts of heartfelt care
Do you wonder or even imagine, do you dare
What happens if you open the door to flight
To fly high above all else, with passion and might
If for once I was caught without a chance
Only my memories and yesterdays would dance
How would I ever know, without a knock
If through the door, I could travel and walk
I wish to find the stars, to see and touch
I need to taste their magic so very much
This is all not so far away, not a dream
Vision and presence together form a team
I see you, I talk to you, you are very real
And yet, you have no idea, how I really feel
