A Story out of Time

smiles through teary eyes
making up castle in the air
feet walking on dewy grass
brushing cobwebs off her hair

listening to the crash of waves
incessantly flirting with the shore
watching gently falling leaves
blown by the wind to the ground below

there's so much leisure now
the clock stopped ticking
time doesn't matter anymore
life is lived fragile and fleeting

she mourns a chapter that came to close
they used to be one, not drifted apart
she wants new direction to choose
she wants a brand-new start

tears may flow and the heart may ache
closing the album of memories
and leave for new pathways to take
but the time has come for newness

letting go means nothing is lost
just like going through another door
more experiences more purpose
for life must know no shackle nor bond

she resigned memories
of him to the stars
and through the adventures of worlds
mysteries shall be uncovered and stories told
