============
    There Was a Time
    by Timoteo del Carmen
    =========
    
    There was a time
    I loved thee so endlessly
    like waves crashing rocks
    to ripples of no end.
    
    But without breeze, how
    can I love thee succeedingly
    for leaves of trees fall off
    barren autumn skies to a halt.
    
    Yet I remember, I close my eyes,
    how can I not love thee
    when moments so sweet, 
    spring-like, all season long?
    
    And when I open thine eyes,
    why am I not blind in eternity,
    and awake without summer's warmth?
    why look at winter's frost?
