By the Width of a Hair

Silent shiver falls light as opaline snow

Profound presence but a subtle glow

Spun on its axis, motion defies will

By the width of a hair, time stands still

-----------------------------------------------

Metamorphosis flutters the muse in stow

Strand by strand links this stranger I know

Breathe color to canvas for destiny's fill

By the width of a hair, time stands still

-----------------------------------------------

Night follows day shift shadows lay low

Moments collect years in a moonlit show

Light plays your face with hands of skill

By the width of a hair, time stands still

-----------------------------------------------

Jealous lover, sun burns in pay as you go

Exacts its cost, a thief, no mercy in tow

But, love only sees through eyes of goodwill

By the width of a hair, time stands still

-------------------------------------------------

Capture your light, capricious swirls to and fro

Before the winds of change begin to blow

Brush the oils that seal off winter's chill

By the width of a hair, time stands still

-----------------------------------------------

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago

Left behind in the way of Vincent Van Gogh

Loves legacy will survive in the colors spill

By the width of a hair, time stands still
