A Moment’s Refugee

How the minutes run aground
Reckless and yet tender found
Days beloved we're endowed
Disappear without a sound

Constant as a soldiers drum
Is the calling of my heart
Sweet remains thy faithful strum
Harkening to love's embark

I am a moment's refugee
And in these hours do I seek
Love beyond this day to last
Long enough to capture me

If I could would I ignite
Ardor pure and fine unsheathed
Hoist away this heavy sigh
Beckoning a breaths relief

I am a moment's refugee
And in these hours do I seek
Love beyond this day to last
Long enough to capture me
