Please stop and stand still,
I can't go on no more,
I can't keep it together
like those times before.

Please give these frozen tears
a chance to melt in the sun,
to pour over my thirsty soul
that can no longer run.

Just stop for one moment
so peace can find my heart,
ease these feelings choking me,
make the heeling start.

To pause for one moment
is what I ask from you.
To stand still for one second,
is that so hard to do?

You look at me, laught out loud:
"It's your struggle against fate,
life goes on, it never stops,
this world won't wait!"

This world won't wait...


Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

Thanks you guys   I appreciate it.

I wrote this poem after visiting my friend's mom for the first time after her death. It's been four months and she's taking it very badly.

She inspired me, but I don't think I'll show her this, cause I think it will only make her feel worse.

Thanks again for the positive feedback mr0001 and Meredith

I really enjoyed this poem. I think it is the saddest things that inspire the best poetry.  But I guess i'm attracted to that kind of work.  Anyway, the poem was wonderful and keep up the good work.  Tara
