Another Time

Faces pass slowly in the midnight breeze
shy eyes lock for a solitary moment
hearts race and fireflies flutter
at the thought that
two old souls could reunite.
Bringing back memories
of lives and loves lost
A shooting star falls in the distance
distracting fate
for a mere instant
history is left in the past
spirits drift away
awaiting
another time
another place

Awaiting another time,another place..Can feel a tinge of sadness ..yet still with a glimpse of hope.I wonder if the spirits are ever happy with the now for what it is - )Life and all we own.. Deep beautiful poem.

Alas, I have found a kindred spirit. Whether inflating or deflating love is and always will be the ultimate conquest. You have run the gauntlet with this bittersweet write my friend. Well done and eloquently expressed. A7

The secret of love, that not many seem to consider, is synchronicity, dear Tim! Here we have a negative example of it wrapped in the words of a magnificent poem!

Love shooting stars and I love fireflies (sad to say I've only seen them once in my life, though). All of it is so fleeting, but there's hope in your last two lines.
