Original digital surreal art: “Crashing Time”

Tonight
with careful hands
we will peel back
cracked and yellowed glassine
from faded aging pages
pages too often ignored
— our photo album
the chronicle of our love
tonight
my wife
you and I
are smashing the clock
we’re opening time’s window
liberating sweet memory
of our shared history
revisiting the magic
and the mystery
the captivating life moments
fondly remembered places
endearing loved ones
the true treasures
that the heart embraces
tangibly immortalized
let it be a symbol
of our enduring strength
of our courage
fully realized
we’ll squelch our fears
with quiet conversation
soft smiles
and gentle tears
some of joy
some bittersweet
some also sad
embracing it all
the good fortune
the wonderful times we had
faces and places
from another time
will reach out
touch our hearts
yes — life’s had its bumps
but also its beauty
it’s triumphs
and too — its tragedy
thirty six years
of us and ours
precious
unforgettable
captured
on these pages
in these folds of time
our time
also captured
though unseen
our deeply held hopes
for the future
our dreams
but tonight
my lover
we shatter
our temporal bounds
our physical limitations
let us soar
on wings of love
let our memories
be our invitations
to rise above
the weight of worry
make this moment — timeless
let us not hurry
through time and space
we will wind
traversing corridors
of heart and mind
alone
here
together
you and I
through time’s open window
this night
we fly
