A Stranger Moment

The wind has wrenched all hands away 
and ripped and torn the sail 
but the sea grows somewhat calmer 
as storms ply against the hull 

Still I hope that time has something left 
to show that I was here 
before sinking into oceans 
of blurred forgotten years 

for my intention is a stranger moment 
apart from the world we share 
and all of our enchanted musings 
fell lost between the here 
and the there 

The lights upon the farthest plain 
ascending with the storms 
where children and dreamers separate 
and a gulf within us forms

And I hope when they replay the verse
our tongues fell deep to speak
the words are less confusing
and the rhythm not so weak

But intention is a stranger moment
apart from the world we share
and all our hopes of happiness
survive between the here
and the there
