Reality Is Lost

The days are getting shorter
But the nights are certainly longer
The brilliance of the evening
Brings lifelong expansion 

As  time  moves  slower
So  does  our  heart  move  slower
And  words  get  lost  amongst
The  many  timeless  nights  along

The   nights   are    going   towards
Late   travels   without   a   passport
And   I   hate   being   lost   into
The   night   air   all   alone

As    the    waves    approach    high    tide
So    does    the    moon    preach    timidly
About    the    times    lost    into    space
And    the    world    seems    to    stop

Now     is     the     time     to      sort
Emptiness     out     of     nothing
And     ride     tide     towards     the     edge
Of     oblivion,     where     moments     are     forgotten

Just      as       time      speaks      of      longer
So      our      words      st art      to      fal l      a par t
A nd      I      a m      lo st      t ow ard s      n ot h in g
An d      re a l ity      I s      l o st      fo r ev e r

..'Now is the time to sort Emptiness out of nothing..' Such a thoughtful, penetrating line out of many in your deep write Russell. Your imagery is deeply reflective - your third stanza is especially brilliant. A beautiful poem and thoroughly enjoyed!
