Time Present

Ghosts of beautiful lost lovers,
Happiness: images from dreams.
On the TARDIS, Rose Tyler's laugh,
Stronger still than once-upon-a-
Time, her journey ending elsewhere.

Memory is a trickster's ruse.
Assorted friends, fights, sex, signposts,
Candy wrappers with the sweets gone.
Hovering here at the threshold,
Impossible fresh happenings,
New adventures arouse hopes and
Excitement. Life? It's fantastic.
