If I Hold Still

I think it may snow,

Do you hear how quiet the air is?

Holding some tea, she turned,

met my eyes and nodded yes.

________

Love left the world today          

Someone tied flowers

in her willow tree She checks the time

on the wall

__________

There is no place she needs to be

__________

If I hold still

Can we see the reruns of the years

all those memories Will stop the tears       

if I hold still?

Are we somewhere under the same sky

Gazing at the same stars 

Are we somewhere under the same sky

Gazing at the same stars and the same moon

__________

I remember his hair was blonde once.

She checks the wall again for the time.

Shadows on the wallpaper – lower now.

Quietly the clock chimes

____________

Are we somewhere under the same sky

Gazing at the same stars 

Are we somewhere under the same sky

Gazing at the same stars and Holding still…..
