I can't see past him, it's like his presence binds
His voice sparkles like Zephyrus' wind chime
His hands, they weave and fix,
Bringing a thousand stars together in a beautiful mix.

He wears a cloak of darkness, yet radiates pure light
His shadow it seems, has the universe's full might
His form yet lays unrest, as if he's a shimmer
These surroundings can't hold him, I feel time go a bit quicker.

he opens his mouth, but not a word comes out
and yet I hear the words, being said by sounds without
they resonate inside me in a melodious rhythm
singeing my flesh and carrying me with him

up we go, far, oh , far away
free from all the mortal misery that could ruin a day
a child's shrill screech, a woman's cry of pain
a bird's first flight, the pitter-pat of the rain

and then we ascend, to the realm above ours
all earthly sense fails, only the mind empowers
"Where are we, what is this place?" I find myself speak for the first
he gives a petite grin like this is all rehearsed

I urge to inquire further, then abruptly stop
because I just spotted an angel up top
the epitome of beauty, in a white flowy dress
but why do I then feel, those eyes I've caressed?

I look to my side and find him gone
I'm all alone now, and find myself drawn
up at the hill, I look again
but find her standing right next to me then

"do I know you?" I ask with expectation
" 'Everyone does, even if out of obligation, ' "
"For I am The Past, my father Time brought you here,"
"I reflect your musings with me, you see who you hold near"

I stand there as if frozen in place
throat all dry, all I do is stare at her ethereal space
and then she ceases, last I saw her was a lifetime ago
my mother's call cuts through the air, and I see the light of reality glow.
