Prism Of Time By Paul Wilson Looking thru the prism of time each year marked in it’s own way Why were we put here why do some go and some stay Who makes these choices for us why do we suffer thru pain and sorrow Never knowing if we will see the sunrise tomorrow Thru this prism of time we see our lives distorted view Nothing the same as before you’re all alone… no one to help you We follow a path thru the stars taking us where… we don’t know Moonbeams leading us onward guiding us with their glow Thru this prism of time we see the past re-living moments and memories in our mind Visiting days and years of long ago not sure of what we will find We close our eyes to block out the sun We open our mind on this journey just begun Searching for the answers of our existence why are we here…in this star filled sky Looking thru the prism of time we will forever ask why Copy Righted 6-18-18 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Paul, You ask the ageless question in fine form. A question that we all ask yet face very much alone. Well done. ~L |

I enjoyed your poem. Especially liked this part.... _______________________ We follow a path thru the stars taking us where… we don’t know Moonbeams leading us onward guiding us with their glow _______________________  |

Just finished reading "Prism of Time." You stated some real facts when you wrote this poem. "Why are we here? Where are we going," is something most of us relate to. I have figured things out to my satisfaction. Even so, I don't try to make others believe my feelings. They are doing their best to figure out things themselves. Leave them alone. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Jerry... First I am not trying to get others to believe my feelings, why would I do that. I write what comes into my mind and if anyone wants to read it they are welcome. I write to please myself not people like you. I'm glad that you have life all figured out to your satisfaction. Call me a dreamer for thinking that there is more to life than we know, Don't tell me to leave people alone I am not asking or forcing anyone too read what I write, and I would be delighted if you never read or replied to any of my poems again, cause I wouldn't want to influence your narrow minded way of thinking. ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

"Looking thru the prism of time we will forever ask why" It can seem like forever while enduring the process... but the prism we look through here on this earth will not be the one we look through beyond it, Paul. I like to think we'll get our answer with the next one. Michael |
