If Only I Could Walk at Night

If only I could turn back time To live forever in the hours when I felt my heart was most alive Lovely eleven to two a.m. When sky is painted darkest blue Memories of sunset burn my eyes The moon is promising peace renewed And all the world seems soft and kind. Though it seems so dark I feel so full Of colors so bright and vivid and endless I skate along in this gentle lull For a moment all my sorrow feels painless. But to my chagrin the clock ticks on while I remain wrapped in dreams of magenta Others march towards the denouement Their lives passing by like dusty novellas.
