The Old Woman's Warning

„I sit and I think about all I was
What I have been and what I'll never be
I'd run back in time but only because
I fear I've felt much but maybe...vainly“

Her face as she spoke, showed signs of sorrow
The voice in her eyes told me of regret
Too late now, no more chances to borrow
A moment from time, no not once its set

I asked her then what she hoped for at night.
„I could dream for ten years but never see
his face again, it's been lost in the mist
That mist of time. But you'll see...yes you'll see"

A shudder went through me as I realized
That I one day too, might look from such eyes
