Sullen Moments

In those sullen moments
A lifetime away where our life was spent
When we had no concept of eternity or any idea where time went
When the sky met the horizon in a much simpler manner
I held you close to me with a cherishing vanity
The splendor of your tender eyes
Like an ember that I will remember for one million frozen nights
The harvest of innocence
Stock piled without a single to remember them
Nothing can substitute you
Or the bond that is hanging in the fray
Ever slightly blowing away
Grain by tiny grain
Top of the hour glass; not even one remains
