time

flew in, a breeze, to please
making happiness seem so real

walk in, a chair, simple stare
a twinkling in the eye

swam in, a gentle wave, to save
a lonely thought, swam out

walk out, an affair, a glare
a single tear and a great sigh

flew out, a sneeze, to cease
making sadness how I felt

S 5/99
