Time and friendship
Valerie van den Berg

So there we are, at the edge of a new beginning
where time is no longer chasing us
reality transforms
because of the silence and love we find
a realm that lacks awareness of a concept we no longer seem to need,
it just stopped being important
Don't you notice when you've dreamed
that you dissolved into another world
Let us dream that this creativity
will bring us together
let me hold you close
glance at you secretly
show me who you are
may craft and love embellish your life forever
and the line we formed, frail though it may be
strengthened
along with the lines between our hearts, our minds
may time be
maybe
the gateway to

our new universe.
