Passage Of Time
By Paul Wilson
( For A Special Friend )

Plunge the blade deeper
into the abyss
of that which use
to be a most
sacred place

A time capsule
that has out lived
it’s usefulness
hollowed by time
reminder of that
which use to be
and that which
will be no more

A part of the whole
of mother earth
and the curse
( or blessing )
bestowed upon eve
for her transgressions

Be strong
in the passing of
one stage in life
to another

Open your eyes
embrace the
blade that
releases you
from the abyss
of yesterday
into the completeness
of today

Your journey has been
one of many roads and choices
and you again must choose
the path of knowing
all things will pass
and make you whole again



~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

A well-versed reminder to your friend that the calm does come after the storm.

It's been awhile, Paul the Poet! Glad I caught this one today!

Loving hug ~ and sending one to your friend, as well,
Linda
