Pebbles and rocks
Rivers and sand
People and places
Fantasy be damned…
And over the edge
Where fantasies live
No hunger or suffering
Just something to give….
And numb as it was
Alive was inside
Not for what was lost-
But for what finally had died.
Tag: Time
Days and Time
The longest day of the year
Is but a few weeks away…
Were the days not just getting longer?
Yes, just the other day?
Oh time you stump me-
As you keep getting further still…
Always challenging my space
And my perception at will.
You are but a blip-
On an ever changing screen…
Always with the answers-
But never knowing what they mean.
The List
Oh how you grow
And taunt me to fail…
Oh how you stop
In forgotten detail…
Oh how you try
To not let me forget…
Oh how I wish
Success I would get…
Oh how I wait
To remember you exist…
Oh how the goals
Just stay on the list.
And Again
The storm taxed the land
And people within
Even while some
We’re simply living again.
Hail destroyed objects
And spider webs too…
Quickly it passed
Once damage was through.
But night does clear
A path we can walk
Careful the wolves
As they begin their walk.
Devils and demons
Talk over Angel’s say…
Hear their voices
And find the right way.
Who What Where
What did I have
Where did it go
Not sure what it was
Or even what I know.
What did I see
Is it where I went
Did it come find me
Or was it where I was sent?
Who am I?
Where have I been?
Silent lucidity
Before walking again.
Future Temptress
It haunts me
Telling jokes
Playing games
Little pokes
Tap, tap, tap
Always the same sound
Opportunity knocking
But can’t be found.
Windows are covered
The door without a knob
The noise is loud
Between these sobs.
Temptation is lurking
Don’t let it come in
The temptress offers
Fate stalls again
State of Time
Pleasant sounds now have ominous tones
Begging for the worst
Painting the best.
The artist is unknown
While work is displayed
Manipulated understanding.
Young are born
Old still age
Brevity highlighting it all.
Muscles ache
While wasting away
So is the state of time.
Time Fallacy
There they stand
Thinking of all the time ahead
Racing to grow up
Ignoring lines they tread.
Enjoy being a kid!
Sentiment each parent sells
The dream that is always preached
Too often doesn’t turn out well.
Waiting to take responsibility
And rescued in their youth
Then shock from friends and strangers
When time reveals the truth.
You don’t have time you see
So stop wasting another day
Enjoy being young and open
But don’t ignore adulthood on its way.
Nothing lasts forever
Especially keeping time
Regrets leave more moments wasted
The body gets past its prime.
You should only have 1 BUT in your life
And that should be your ASS!
Don’t believe in having later
Or anyone will just let you pass.
Enjoy your youth, yes!
Don’t depend on the best is yet to come….
Adulthood is long and hard
And you will wish to again be young.
Chase that dream each day
Work hard to make it real
Preach honesty in your life
Keep negativity from what you feel.
You don’t have time, kid!
But you do have today . . .
Don’t throw it in the trash
Use your time to work, learn and pray.
