Never as far

Never as far...

How we perceive
What we believe
Does not change the truth
That time will continue.
From point A,
to the point B,
one beginning will meet
its ultimate end.

What we dream
How we believe what it means
Is not going to stop time
from reaching home on time.
From that moment then,
to this moment now,
one beginning will meet
its ultimate end.

As I lay in bed,
looking at your words on paper
or at your face behind my mind's eye,
time continues on.
12:00
1:00
2:00
Suddenly, two weeks becomes
two months.
A second becomes a year,
lost?
Or a new second/year gained?
Another moment to savor.

As I rise at 2:12am,
and step outside,
I'll gaze at the sky
through the hazy lights of this city,
to try to always remember
No matter how far apart
We're never as far as the stars.
And time will continue.
