TRANSLUCENT MEMORIES


A cold morning the sun just rising
The mountains just beginning to glimmer
Your eyes just starting to open
Hair laying on the pillow

Light coming in the window
Breathing slowly
As not to wake you
Watching every movement

A song playing on the radio
Today you are not leaving as planned
You decided to stay in my arms
Each moment my love for you grows

Then suddenly your eyes start to open
I look down at you and smile
Translucent memories of the future
Aging together and staying young
