There Will Come A Time

There will come a time soon for me
It will come too near, much too quickly
The sun won’t look any different for you
But I’ll see it shaded in darkest blue
The sea will still rush to meet the shore
The sky will still be as it was before
No one whose soul isn’t aching like this
Will know the pain of losing love’s kiss

There will come a time I know it nears
When my soul will be awash with tears
I’ll try to hold them back but I’ll fail
And my soul against the fates will rail
I know time can’t slow its pace for me
That the sands of time will flow free
If only I could capture its fluid flow
I’d hold it still and I’d never let go

There will come a time I know it I
When my soul shall utter sorrow’s cry
I’ll feel too soon the last of your touch
While my eyes mist with the pain of such
I know nothing can halt its frantic pace
Time doesn’t slow and it doesn’t race
It moves at the same rate for eternity
And I can’t make it do tricks for me

The final farewell, the very last kiss
There will come a time for such as this

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Your last two lines
wrap this lovely, neatly...
a sad write, but then,
we have to have both in our worlds,
do we not?

Hugging you for this, my dear.

I sometimes wonder which is worse... to have sorrow surprise us and leave us aching with words unsaid and deeds undone... or to have it hovering, reminding us daily of the dark times we face. There just isn't an easy way or a good time to have our world fall apart.

This is aching excellence, dear friend.

Oh, Marsha dearest heart, this is so very touching and causes me to tear up. My thoughts are with you. Chris

Heart HuGS beloved. There comes this time to all of us. Some of get through by friends, walk with me a while until the darkness passes.

This time comes for all of us I think. I'm sure that wouldn't be comforting right now though.

oh wow, your words brush lightly through my soul~ i interpreted this as the sadness of a last kiss before a loved one dies...  just know that death does not seperate us forever, and the moment will come for us to be with our friends, lovers, children, family and partners again... nonetheless, sorrow appears to be an important element in our human experience... the ache you have expressed here is as much vital to our strength as it is painful... just continue to linger in the beauty of your dreams, my poetess friend..  our dreams will soon come.

light, love, and blessings,   manisha
