In time

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

a mysterious way unfolds
and I'm the one watching myself in the mirror 
at the end of the floor
there's light from the stars 
but as the mist surrounds me
I can't see anything, if only a cat's eye
there in a second, gone in another
frame by frame, then suddenly I'm permitted to view
into the clockwork of time as it slowly rewinds
for some minutes the gears of destiny seem frozen
maybe only to me, but I fail to realize
from a dream I have come
and in one of so many moments I'm not saddened or happy
a moment where I stand in the darkness
close my eyes and listen 
to the words of the world which I can't understand
words so tranquil
I might want to cry if there was a reason
and then the moments heat up again
headlights illuminate the road that crosses my path
again an inner voice says I'm too late
but I believe
somehow
I arrived just in time
