Timeless

This curious case of buttons
found at the back of a store,
It wasn't a jewel or a rocket ship
Yet fasteners to history bore...
The stories of great adventure
tales of forgotten dreams
Pearls down the back of a dance in the dark
and winter held back at the seams.
I fossicked and frolicked,
to Greville's reprise...
gold ones and shellies and stars,
And there two Lieutenants found in the night
Two flyers in peaceful reply.
Found were two buttons of gold
Inside of a whole, all hidden but bold
Lay the compass for finding a way,
And I kept them and loved them and missed them and held them
And remembered to wish them the day.
Timeless we are born
old souls in the morn,
Older we are brighter still
and bathed in warmest will.
Take these tiny button dreams
and find a way to see
Timeless is the heart
at sea...
Where love forever be.
