If for a moment time would stand still
all the desire in my life would hold my will
that piece of my heart
where my soul stands in a clear engagement
of how we could have
stopped time
together, forever,
if in a parallel universe,
if when I could
while losing myself in her eyes,
feel the breeze through the maple,
the forest is where I could love you,
where the beauty of our lives,
became secondary to the strength
nature around our lives,
fulfilling lives bound forever,
sweet serenity.
