All Yet Nothing

I can see the lush land around you,

I can smell the scent of the flowers you hold,

I can hear the song of the mockingbird, perched on your shoulder,

I can taste the honey from the bees in the hive behind you,

I can feel the breeze, through the trees in the forest of you.

I can do all of these.

but no matter what I see,

No matter what I feel,

I cannot break the shackles of time.

I am gone.

And you have moved on.

The dead are not allowed to love.
