Time, the paradox of living, two separate entities always giving. This is time, making us grow, and then the twin, moving so very slow. Years clip by after a certain age, leaving to wonder where went the days. A look in the mirror shows time went by, chicks in the nest began to fly. Your mind cries out, this isn’t true, I only feel, a young twenty two. A blessing and a curse, all the same, feeling one age, yet knowing the game. Live life large before too late, don’t dump your plans at tomorrow’s gate. Tomorrow becomes the past too fast, leaving without memories wanted to last. The ever clicking time, and timeless twin, give us the grace to go once again. |

Logan--Time, so fickle is precious, isn't it...and your mirror only sees what you want it to..I see a lovely man with much spirit and strength. |

Logan this is very good. "A look in the mirror shows time went by, chicks in the nest began to fly. Your mind cries out, this isn’t true, I only feel, a young twenty two. A blessing and a curse, all the same, feeling one age, yet knowing the game." I have thought this so many times, you said it so well. Sandra |

A perpetual fascination of mine... Some very stark questions and realizations brought to the surface here. Now... I gotta run. -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Yanno, I never wear a watch! Never. I do look at a clock to be on time however when I have to but time is something I have plenty of and I use every second therefore I am ready for your last two lines: "The ever clicking time, and timeless twin, give us the grace to go once again." Then I get to do this all over again, now how wonderful is time then? Great poem Logan! To see real beauty ~ being blindfolded helps! ~* Mysteria *~ |

*sigh* Well..I admit. I haven't read this yet, but I AM printing it. I just feel it needs more attention, so here ya go, Sweet One. I'm working on a poem you inspired with your very sweet e-mail the other day. You make me smile, yanno? Thanks. You are missed also. |

Excellent advice as always, my friend. Yes, tomorrow is perhaps the key. All writing comes |
