Vapor Trail

I pass the time
wandering in and out
of my own mind
Only to find
I am a fleeting passing status line

And she fades
from green to grey

Just outside
of my peripheral
I see a shadow creeping
slowly fading
across this crowded wall

While she fades
from green to grey

Movement spied
She is everywhere
and suddenly nowhere
She is a vapor trail
But suddenly still and silent

I watch her fade
from green to grey

Tongue tied
Thoughts dying
on my lips
I am numb
through to my fingertips

As she fades
from green to grey
