An Ancient Archway In Time

.

An Ancient Archway In Time

by Paul McCann .

Up above in a plastic sky,

spiral sunbeams in colours fly

down on a street, where two worlds meet

to add a touch of bitter sweet .

Two lovers lying fast asleep, with all the secrets that they keep

like frozen tears upon their face,

left for another time and place .

Deirdre and all her sorrows weep with all the stories that she keeps

on the bridge where roses enfold

on twisted vines of pink and gold .

What happened to them yesterday could happen again here today

 for nothing ever stays the same

in places drenched with fire and rain .

Between two worlds love builds a bridge

to show the way to take courage

and find a place to meet today

regardless of what others say .
