Like a nebulous cloud
Adrift on the whims of time,
The winds of change,
You dance before my eyes,
A tantalizing prize
Displaced by leagues of circumstance
And random happenstance
So far beyond my reach.

A distant delusion,
A fragile illusion
A lingering indecision
On the fringes of my vision
Out of reach, out of touch
Out of bounds
My fingers grasp at you
But close on thin air
Because no matter where I think you are
You're not really there…

You flicker in the distance like a dying candle flame
So very far away,
As fleeting as a dream;
Just a dream…
