The autumn of our years, our moment in the sun. Still vibrant with the colors of a life fully lived. Retired from our labors. A canvas now, painted with the brilliance of our triumphs, the subtle shades of our common day to day, and the scars of our struggles. Telling a story. Teaching a lesson. Mementos of places been and moments lived. Suspended in the air for all to see. Each day, like autumn leaves, hanging by a thread. Enjoying the warmth of knowing that the heat of the summer years is past. While feeling the first winds of winter stir. A reminder to all who see. The bud becomes the leaf, that feeds the family tree. And when, like us, its work is done, it tells its story and gives way.
My Dear One,
If our time dwindles down, to a single day...only hours, left to have
To spend it weighted down by tears, such a waste of time that is
I would want to share the simple things, and thank my God above
that I can hold you close, here by my side, and be glad that we've known love
To pull down shades, in a lonely room, and grieve of fate's demands
are not for us, we will smile and pray, assured of something planned
The choice is mine, to spend this time, where your heartbeat sings for me
My head might spin, but my heart would lend itself to such belief
No need to hide or to run away, there's a time for everyone
We are meant to have, our miracle, this moment in the sun
We would spend a while looking all around, in the place we call our own
The rolling hills, all the daffodils, the mountains we call home
In the evening's tide, by fireside, we will have our love to share
I will hold your hand, in the soft moon light, to music of the stars
All the friendly hills, that are standing by, they will miss us, you and I
But when sun has set, with a sad regret, there'll be rainbows in the sky
The stars will bend, above our heads, and will whisper soft and low
With a quiet peace, in the lovely breeze, those silent words we know
When our time is spent, what they do not know, is that love will never end
If the truth be known, we are not alone, we will walk, still, hand in hand

Will you allow your lovemate to go after you've misunderstood yourselves?
You need a dream whilst the feelings in your heart is dying,
Every checks made of you suggests a revival,
Thinking you know best for yourself,
The road even to your home can't recognise your feet,
All that brings you hope is that face of your lover,
Thinking much about the past moment in the sun,it opens the clouds to pour down tears from your eyes,
I wish one day you understand the promise you hold to each other,
How effective it becomes when you try to close every senses against that partner,
It illuminates all around you,making the stars wonder,
Thus when you can afford to take a glance on the hourglass before your lover return with a banter,
Already,nothing tells you of happiness and smiles at the end of the day,
Whereby I don't see your efficacy in what you say,
Because you now feel alone by the way,
If you sleep who do you see in the light of your imaginary mind?
Hoping one day that lover will be at your side,
Patience is giving you the picture of forgiveness this night,
So listen to the music of the spheres as you dites,
Since your lover wish every petty misunderstanding dies,
That's what you really need on this ride,
Because it only proves what impells you to meet each other again in light.
With expectations to what excites.
Heart to heart we live as one inside this castle for two
soulmates for life we hoped, but we never really knew
Hands interlocked, shoulder to shoulder , we toiled all day
only the bathe in the night by a moonlight's inlay
Heart to heart we loved each other like never before
believing in each other no matter what God had in store
Lips to lips we kissed like children in the garden of love
seeded and homegrown we grew like flowers, beloved
Heart to heart we grew old together and lived as one
walking side by side we savored every moment in the sun
Face to face we watched each other grow and change
knowing that I love yous were always in our vocal range
Heart to heart we shall live until God takes us both away,
to that Castle in the sky where we will live forever this way !
Love, Mystic Rose
We tend to realize the older we grow
how in life there is a definite ebb and flow…
How sometimes the sun will shine
making the landscape clear and bright
and other times our eyes have a hard time
adjusting to the darkness of the night
When it’s bright outside…we laugh and play and run
we try to enjoy and store in our memory
every moment in the sun.
So when darkness falls and we can’t tell night from day
we’ll have those memories in the sun to help illuminate our way.
When sadness darkens our world
memories of the sunlight help us overcome our fears
reminding us there is joy out there
Floating…in the wake of all our tears
Reminding us somewhere in our sorrow
if we look for joy…we’ll find it
and that every dark cloud…
will one day surrender…
to the sun …waiting patiently behind it.
"Beauty doesn't last forever, but for some it does" by Poet
the moment I saw you
I fell in love
butteflies in my stomach
stars spinning across my head
I knew right there and then
that we would spend our lives together
and it would be
thirty years of romance and love
deep, cherishable, constant
our dream together was a touch of beautiful
I thought it would never end
our love, a masterpiece
but all life withers and sometimes people change
our beauty had it's moment in the sun
but now we are apart
but I still remember our love
and those memories will never leave me
a beauty so pure
About time,
I've paid my dues I've crossed the line,
This moment I thought would never come,
Is in my grasp, the deed now done.
Don't get me wrong, I loved my Mum,
But all that passed would surely stun
Even a saint or the Lord above,
So tiring being an aimless dove.
Now I'm ready to take the world by storm,
Show them my worth, no longer act forlorn,
The wife I always wanted by my side,
I can finally get into my Kingly stride.
The Little niggle that remains,
Harry's willful character that pains,
I've summoned experts to hear what they might say
To finally obtain a sample of his mysterious DNA.
I'm not claiming he's not mine,
But as Americans would shout, ‘I wouldn't bet a dime’,
Thank goodness I've got my other boy,
A stand-up chap that brings me nothing but pure joy.
As to Camilla, my soulmate from the start,
From whom they never could tear me far apart,
She now stands by me as my Queen,
You saw me beam with joy like a lovestruck teen.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm painfully aware my reign may not be long,
But while I'm here, I plan to make my mark,
Understanding this job is no cakewalk in the park.
I've got the Aussies wanting to jump ship.
The Canadians on their own perennial trip,
The Scots plotting for a Clansman King,
And Parliament seeking me do next to nothing.
Yet I've got a plan,
Something that will surely stun,
Become a multimedia star,
And thus take them all across the bar.
I can jig, dance and sing,
Fly helicopters, do pretty much of anything,
Plant trees, help save our World
How can all of this be thought absurd.
Politicians just blow smoke,
Send their countries near flat broke,
I instead bring Billions in
Collecting smiles from wheresoever I have been.
That said let me enjoy my moment in the sun,
Reflecting on all that's been and done,
My resolve is firm, my duty clear,
My life's work is aimed at all, both far and near.
So rest easy, enjoy the ride,
Sailing smoothly on a flowing tide,
Over a thousand years in the making
My oath is one of giving and not taking.
Once I held a diamond in my hand,
whose beauty consumed me like a fire.
With every sparkle the flame was fanned,
her every touch stoked my desire.
I was afraid to let her beauty shine,
my lovely diamond I would not share.
So in total darkness I kept her blind,
I shut the door and held her there.
One day I took her out to see the sun,
how she shimmered in those rays of light.
When her moment in the sun was done,
I put her in my pocket and shut it tight.
Somewhere in the night she disappeared,
for I had woke to find my diamond gone.
The day had come that I had feared,
the ray of light was taken from my dawn.
In my heart I allowed jealousy to rule
and let slip through my hands a precious jewel.

Upon the misty heights I roam
And wonder, as I wander lone
For she who mystifies my dawn
And listens as I muse along
Is nearer still, as lone I walk –
I speak in silence from the heart
Of days gone by when we were young
And knew our moment in the sun
Was brighter then than it would be,
For even then we knew, could see
That time and distance would parlay
And deeper still for us portray
The breathless passion that we knew,
Which sprang from wells from which we drew,
Not knowing when the moment came
How we would never be the same –
And now I never walk alone
For deep with her in thought I roam
And still recall with vivid sight
And memory untinged by night
The flame we burned with passion bright
When lone I roamed on misty heights
"Time is the thief you cannot banish."
Phyllis McGinley
Their shadows follow slowly behind them
close friends sharing a moment in the sun
disappearing into the floating clouds
playing Hide and Seek among the branches
They refuse, as shadow's do, to grow up
to stand still and stop that fidgeting
laughing as the wind tosses their hair
racing ahead to splash through puddles
Holding hands they engage in a mock skip
drawing closer as the sun's moment fades
close friends sharing a moment - drift apart
withdraw into an ever graying dusk
