In That One Afternoon

Not even the whole of it
Yet with ample time
To recollect one quarter of
A well lived life

And now the heart beats
And now the eyes smile
And now the lucid thoughts
And now…

Fight off the tears of nostalgia
Quash all hopes of return
Deny doubts of past indecisions
Crumple up those old forgotten notes

For yours is
Your life only
Your heartbeats, your smiles
Your new breath; for you alone to breathe
