timely speaking

in speaking
[or not speaking at all]
of the time of time
not so distant

my timely thoughts
come ‘round to you
again

in the silence, the ticking
of the clicking of the
wind of the clock’s
gears

rears and cheers and spears
me
a little louder
there, and here….
in the silence

here, and there
in the silence, you are
still heard
there, and here,
in the quiet, your force
is felt
in the melt of the day
from the heat of the night
in the cool of the shadows
after the meet of twilight

there

and

here

in not speaking at all
[in speaking]
that time that was our time
not so distant
as yesterday

not so close
as tomorrow

but our time
timeless
windless
chimeless

in the silence

my thoughts ‘round
and rondo you

our song never leaving
my soul

even ‘tho halved
still whole

of the time of time
that still which
is mine

is mirrored in your time

write with grace, all others lose face;
"Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..." LMA

Bitter Sweet!
Amazing how people touch our lives.

You've penned your feelings very well.
Much enjoyed your work Lady!

There are times that silence is not golden!  This was bittersweet, but so well done.

"rears and cheers and spears me a little louder"

Yes, I understand this feeling well.  I like the way this is written.  Very cleverly constructed.

loved the presentation of this lady...
it reads the same way you define the passages of time
I love the whole feel of this one...
the wind, the silence, the need..
well done poetess white  

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

the mirror of time
two hearts of love
different yet the same
time stops. . .

excellent. . .
