Crossing the Fragile Boundary

 

You alone, slowly walk 

Through a revolving door

To your past in a frozen time

You mumble, you talk 

With the invisibles

You alone, cross the fragile

Boundary of space and time

Where you revive the history 

Of your childhood moments

One at a time

You come back lonely, to 

The present side of space and time

You get confused as if you

Just landed on the moon in July

You feel embarrassed, of

Not knowing who we are

You are puzzled by our relationships 

Feeling so real

Yet now that all are hidden in a vague profile

Locked in your broken storage in mind

The daily reality may flash only for seconds

Then seconds, minutes, hours just gone too fast

It is a dilemma to go tug of war with your

Constantly gazing over the gate to

Another zone of time                               

At the fragile boundary of time and space 

You feel ambivalent about letting go or 

Indulging in your long lost time 

You wish to focus on the moment and

Who's speaking with you at the time

We are together for the here and now
