PAD: Here

No prompt for me today.  Just a poem.  Day NINE

95564-couplelove
How long?
How will this last?
When will we say good bye?
Our quiet moments in a failing orbit
Rock
Turned to sand
How long does it take?
Mountains worked by wind, sun, rain, snow
Stop time
Please, stop it now
All things have an end
Real love will not spoil!
Infinity!
Let’s stay here.  Just here.
Frozen in a moment
Chasing the sun so that it never sets
