Yesterday Is a Guest

When youth was a King, there was only you I reached out in darkness and found you there Eternity and fleeting are both true Bound by perception, in the cage they share Victim of judgment, by two who consent Finding rhyme nor reason for failures cause Opened time's door with fragile lament Found only fragments where yesterday paused Could I count the suns, with their passing dawn? Feel love collasping in quiet despair A moment in time, my heart relied on Confiscated now by memories shared And though the farthest hills are now between The rising suns are silent and serene
