Bartering for Life Reaching the point where bottom is pit And the low of the low is resting above The skies are raining their torrent on mine Wishing, am I to answer "what of"... What of this world that promises one Of rainbows, togetherness, days in the sun. What of the hopes and dreams "they" portray That seem within reach then just fade to gray. What of, I ask, of whispers of kiss Of times of loving in arms hold, I miss. Rainbow colored, red, greened some blued While I am a mixture, not solidly hued. Down at the bottom, the heavens above Drawing me to them with words of "what of"... Sweeping the mentions, the memories to dust Leaving me empty, with words to fulfill "What of's" are gone, "what if's" to replace Time is still ticking, while moments are nil... Don't take these, my words, to mean any or all They're letters of sighing, together in fall As I tumble and twist in my nightmarish stay Wondering, pondering the "what of's-if's" this day... No answers forthcoming, I barter with time "If only's" would trade me, each second to mine. The minutes would hour, the days would outlast 'Til finally colors would brighten the past And rainbowed ahead, once again skies would be Reaching out, calling to barter with me. ~Wynter *just in a strange mood... "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Nakd, I often hobnob with despair By merely saying I don't care. But those that see can see right through. The petty of the hobnob rue. You write well and I enjoy your work. Sy |

ahhh....what wonderful things a strange mood can produce. Do not worry at the doldrums we encounter in our writing life. Just enjoy the day doing other things that make you feel good. Robert |

"Rainbow colored, red, greened some blued While I am a mixture, not solidly hued." - love those lines... a fine write here, wynter... the concept of bartering with time... ahhh... well? we all are, aren't we...life is so very very short... each moment should be treasured and i'm happy to read your reflection of this.... some people just go through without even thinking about it... thanks for the read |
