The Other Side
~~~
Our love was but an arc in time
A span of moments
Bridging one shore to another
Built by foundling lovers
Across a river wide
~~~
A sunrise and a sunset
Marking the passage of time
The slow waltz of the sun
Shining on our day as one
While the moon awaits
~~~
Lost in the rhythm and the rhyme
We danced while they played
The beauty of a song
Lasting but minutes long
Set in a minor key
~~~
There will always be a then
Living in my now
That binds my past
To what did not last
But I am standing on the other side
~~~

“A sunrise and a sunset
Marking the passage of time
The slow waltz of the sun
Shining on our day as one
While the moon awaits”
I love the phrasing you used here. Using the sunrise and sunset as a marker of the beginning and the end.
I love the analogy of the bridge where you can look across and hold onto the things you learned, the memories you will always carry with you, but knowing you must face the other side alone.
I so love your art!
Thank you, Kristian! As always, you are too kind. Hope you have a great weekend!
I hope you have a great weekend, too! 🦒❤
