Back and forth…
And back and forth…
Back and forth, and back and forth; so it is that the pendulum of time swings. Like a child's cradle it swings back and forth, back and forth, never ceasing its monotonous, simplistic, comforting sway. Sometimes malevolent, always compassionate, it never stops.
Back and forth…
And back and forth…
Back and forth, and back and forth; so it is that we reflect on life, always drawing almost close enough to brush Past's cheek with the slightest breath, but always quickly drawing back at the last moment. Sometimes we wish we could reach out and grasp it and hold it tight, sometimes we wish to forget it completely, but we never can.
And back…
And…
Back and forth, and back and forth they drift, so close one moment and then suddenly eons separate them. Always they return, knowing how much they truly want each other, but only to drift away again, fearing the close contact. Always swinging, always moving, and always swaying.
