Quickly


Which yesterday burns constant
the one where dream crossed hopes
gave thought to a kiss
Or perhaps the one where lips made good
on the promise of sweet shivering
Though not forgotten the day of trials
and sorrow's long tow of a heart deflated
But now patience and comprehension
prove true a parent's lesson ignored
Slow the ways of love's fast igniting
learn the moment
breathe the hour
cherish the day
Quickly we came this way
deliberate is our surrender

'learn the moment
breathe the hour
cherish the day'

Very nicely done~

If we'd only learn...This is really great! And so true. Poetic discovery of self.

Sincerely,
Regina
