There Was a Time

============
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?
