One thousand rainbows later

One thousand rainbows later, time will pause for a moment

To turn around and look back across time,

Where it shall encounter me

In your past and in my present.

And I would greet it with joy

Of that imperishable kind with which past greets its future,

Laugh with it, the way I laugh with you

And I would tell it all about your ancient glory

And it would fill me in with your glory eternalized

And we would talk till the moon joins in

Croon till the cricket chants along

Till I run out of memories

Till it runs out of time,

Heavy with nostalgia, time would bid me bye

Slip back to where it came from

Not knowing that it never did leave me

Never could leave me

Entirely.

For

The wraith of my world will walk over your wall.
