A Moment In Time
Marc David Decker © 1989




In the blue light of the full moon,
I saw love for what it was and is…
A moment in time,
Forged by the seasons to crystalline diamond.
Infinite. Frozen. Immortalized.
I met her on the train...
You know, the one that used to go to the edge of the world.
In a stateroom of maroon velvet and carved mahogany,
We sailed on wings of real love.
And although that train has long since blown its last whistle,
The tie between us remains.
And although the masses built their city,
Into the very heart of the edge of the world,
That which connects my love to me…continues to endure.
And although I’ve often dreamed of returning to simpler days,
Time has been my enemy so long, it has become my friend.
In the realism of the daylight metropolis,
I saw love for what it was and is…
A moment in time.
Frozen. Crystalline.
Without end.
