A Passing Moment of Sadness
To feel a tear upon the flesh
which moves me in quiet quivers
To dream and remember in wistful memory
Could that I look into your eyes again
feel the melody of my heart before it trembled
How silent the world when love vanishes
and memories hang in the gallery of the mind
looked upon in dim realms of flickering moments
when the heart cries
and the mind comforts with portraits of yesterdays
that float away
tumbling through the dark like windblown leaves
I grow tired as my soul falters
and I fall upon the empty floor of time
in the gloom of melancholy
