Band Of Gold

Bands of gold 
fall silently 
in a slow motion 
blur 
and time slips by 
without exception 
to the rule 
and nothing speaks 
louder than truth 
being told 
fingers wrapped 
desperately 
around the past 
pried loose 
gentle words 
spoken 
easing the pain 
while candle light 
softens the blow 

...it's time to hold tight and time to let go
