one time

one time

in a lifetime

of a thousand years

a prospect of purest

possibility,

an idea of beauty

embracing all,

an arching light

rises bright

on distant horizons

and one time

offers only

one chance

in its hands

to be a part

or be apart,

so he runs

with all of his might

be

through a twilight

of isolated colour

into an ever

narrowing angle

of possibility

until he is down

on his knees,

then prostrate

before the goddess

of one time.
