Where Time’s Winds Blow

(A poem inspired by the Reunion Duology)

Where time’s winds blow

That’s where you are;

Your bright eyes glow

Like distant stars.

I call your name

And there you are;

In time’s freeze frame

Caught from afar.

Where time’s winds blow

Things cannot last;

We come and we go

Like ships that pass.

Love’s not always sweet, nor is it just “tomorrows”

It has sharp edges, barbs, and is full of sorrows;

Yet we must love, and face the storm

When time’s winds blow…..

Where time’s winds blow

That’s where you’ll be;

Where love’s fires glow

Your smile I’ll see.

Across the stars

Across the sea;

Where time’s winds blow

Our hearts will be.

    1. Thanks, Thomas. I used parts of it as the “song” in a dream sequence I wrote in “Reunion: A Story.”

      I’m glad you liked it.

    1. I wrote it many moons ago as a “song” that the narrator-protagonist of my novella, Reunion: A Story, hears in a dream sequence. I really wanted to use the lyrics to “This Night” by Billy Joel, but I couldn’t afford the licensing fee to do so. So I listened to the melody of Michel Legrand’s Theme from Summer of ’42 (The Summer Knows) whilst I wrote the first stanzas of the poem. In some places, the poem’s rhythm matches the music…but not in others.
