Particle Accelerator

That which has come has gone, This song is sung, This bell has rung. This road we walked has Wound its way home, To face this moment naked and alone. In time we move apart again, Once touched, ever touching. Drifting to distant climbs, The chill fills our soles, or selves, still. Motionless but ever moving, Drawn inexorably away. Sightless eyes gaze, glazed, upon the heavens, The stars strewn across the night sky. Their traces glitter and shine. Your heart and mine are one again, for a moment. The time transcendent, abundant, so all becomes possible. That which we feared has lost its power As the flower of our faded youth Produces seeds. The seeds, like stars, are strewn across the night sky. Their traces glitter and shine. They are yours, And mine.
