The Halls Of Marble & Ice

Many centuries ago,
we walked amidst
the halls of marble and of ice
we stood upon
the ancient towers
and viewed
the land below.

The sky was blue
and white clouds
were gentling the landscape
as we stood

I turned to you
and said,
What is this vision,
is this day?
And you laughed
and said,
"The wine is good today."

And later,
we will simply fly
and dance.

I remember you.

I shook my head
and turned away,
I couldn't help
but share your smile.

I took your hand
and so we went
into the halls
of marble and of ice,
children we were,
and yet,
the oldest ones
of all.

Today I have returned.

In timeless splendour,
all is at it was.

But now, I can
appreciate it all.
And I await you here.
My arrival heralds yours,
as well.

It's one of those things ...

There you are!
