It Never Stopped

A poem by
   Joel A. Harnden
   November 1996


When the sun awoke from it's nightly bed,
And filled our hearts with a sparkling red,
Like dew on grass where children tred,
It never stopped, it did not look back.

When trees grew tall and played in the wind
With leaves that danced, then danced again,
When our happiness seemed to have no end,
It never stopped, it did not look back.

When the sky turned grey, so night could fall,
And the end of day gave it's final call,
It did'nt wait, or even stall.
It never stopped, it did not look back.

But seasons change and bring new weather.
And now that we're no longer together,
The futures hope is gone forever.
I want to stop! I long to look back!

So, I asked it to stop, and open a door,
So I could see your face once more,
And we could be as we were before.
I begged to stop! I pleaded to look back!

But, all it did, in a manner as though
It saw no need to even slow,
Was look at me and then say, "No,
I never stop. I do not look back."
