Eternity and Me There is a day not far away As minutes and hours may claim A speck of time not even worth A moment for the moon to wane A distant star upon the rise With a voice that speaks my name Whispered in the night, far away About a future, I hope to claim As seconds pause on every clock They’ve lost the will, to move And hours crawl, at eons pace Delaying my lips, from touching you Infinite is a second, when love Is away from its other flame Even the dust of dying stars Seems short to a heart in pain But brief is time to the outer world Like a tear in a storm at sea And I’ll be there just a month away A month, an eternity, an eternity to me.

A distant star upon the rise With a voice that speaks my name Whispered in the night, far away About a future, I hope to claim But brief is time to the outer world Like a tear in a storm at sea And I’ll be there just a month away A month, an eternity, an eternity to me ___________________________________________ This says a lot to me Park. Mainly it says someone is a lucky girl!  I hate it when I have to wait for something, even a day or two can seem like forever. Beautiful write, my friend. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

A speck of time not even worth A moment for the moon to wane A distant star upon the rise With a voice that speaks my name Whispered in the night, far away About a future, I hope to claim ====================================== Infinite is a second, when love Is away from its other flame Even the dust of dying stars Seems short to a heart in pain ================================================ *marking in day planner* ... one month ... Arch ...bring pedestals ROFLAhh P-man this is so lovley...the poetic phrasing is delightful as is your cadence... this just dances and rolls off the tongue when read aloud Classic poetry here...the ache...the conflict...the imagery ...the hope ... the moon... all adds up to a P-man penned swoon  I love this line: Even the dust of dying stars Seems short to a heart in pain now how gorgeous is that...."the dust of dying stars" ... oh man!!! You worked the metaphor of time in this to poetic perfection. Very very nice write P-man..very nice indeed. Even thru the darkest phase, be it thick or thin |

Oh this brought so many things to mind, but the thing is brought most to mind was what someone said to me once "no timetables" if we could only "feel" eternity! This poem speaks so clearly to that. I enjoyed, very much Kathleen--(Kay) |

*sigh* this is so beautiful...it sang with the music of the stars as I read it...Your ability with words is stunning....you weave magic with your pen. A mere second can seem like an eternity when we are in love. BRAVO!!! I love it. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

A distant star upon the rise With a voice that speaks my name Whispered in the night, far away About a future, I hope to claim As seconds pause on every clock They’ve lost the will, to move And hours crawl, at eons pace Delaying my lips, from touching you Infinite is a second, when love Is away from its other flame Even the dust of dying stars Seems short to a heart in pain ======================================== *sigh*....yes...youve taken the scribbles from my pen, and put them here..you do write them better than i..lol time does seem to stand still doesnt it...."even the dust of dying stars seems short" compared to the waiting.....wow..what a way to put it...! soon...everything comes about eventually.. the wait will fade into oblivion.....soon... hugs, g ~dgvarner/fallen rain~ |
