Tomorrow Was Far Away

The red sky became a dark fading light
   across a darkened meadow
where our hands were still visible
   as we tried to touch the sky
a star fell cutting through the black canvas
   vanishing as quickly as it came
leaving an afterimage in our eyes
we made a wish, but neither would tell
as we lost ourselves in laughter and wine
knowing that tomorrow was far, far away

In this place where joy was captured
   the rush of life slowed
and we came to know the quiet bonding of two souls

It was there our lives changed forever
and all that was before became unimportant
as tomorrow was not that far away anymore
