Of Time And Moonbeams

EXCERPTS FROM COACO PIPELINE – year 1984 OF TIME AND MOONBEAMS Memories of the past sometimes Bring pain to the lonely soul Re-live the bygone days unmindful Of the silent passing of time. Strolling under the moonlight With one’s beloved one hoped to catch The moonbeams in his palm Somewhere a solitary bird slept Dreaming of the future. Time waits for no one. One’s beloved has gone; the bird Flips its wings away, Each mark Time makes is life’s reality. Yes . . . life’s sojourn is a test Of frustration and success, And man can seek refuge in solitude Abiding with time. Some night one soul can catch The moonbeams in his palm. BONNIE ALBA
