Just One Knock

[swlibrabw]

I wish....
that just for one day,
everyone would go away,
and those we love,
they would stay,
if for only just one day.

and as the time
it races by
playing its mindless games
you hear the sound,
just one knock
and everything goes away.

now stands still
the hands of time
and those you love
not by your side.
only near you, far away
with rose in hand
and face astray.
