To Flossie “Roses”

In that brief moment in time I was free

Smelling the roses of yesterday

Remembering a long forgotten past

Holding onto dreams I had of tomorrow

Flashing images freezing time

Disrupting my very existence

Taking into account all that transpired

That sweet smell of what could have been

That longing rising once more in my chest

For that one second stretched out into space

All can be lived again

All is not lost

Time standing still in a capsule

Never forgotten

Always remembered

As I lay here among the flowers with those that

came before me

The light still shines and the stage still waits

My ambition still firing in all this silence

I wonder what if
