When the dreaming has ended
and the time has no tock,
decisions come hardest
with no ticking of clock.

I am chased by what haunts me
and the click of my past,
but the present of future
brings me down by its cast.

Oh, those shadows are merely
my sighs taking shape,
as I cover the distance
with words of escape.

I am narrowly with you,
but the ending is near,
as my dreaming dissolves
into nothingness, clear.

Was it worth all the hardness,
my clock's stuck on one?
My timing was off
by the seconds, undone.

You can tell, I can feel it,
the dreaming's at end,
no more you-thoughts to spirit,
no more wantings need tend.

For I'm over it all,
let down by the glass,
its framing of me,
and time tarnished in brass.

M

"Oh, those shadows are merely
my sighs taking shape"

A rather lonely and sad bit of verse, but the above lines are my favorite. You should see what some of my sighs look like.



Hope things are well for you.

hey C, if you can understand, maybe you can explain it to me...I think my insides  know it but the rest of me is puzzled


Serenity, I am as well as I can be at the moment...I sigh so much I hyperventilate until I am dizzy (sometimes a good thing and most times bad)

Hello Maureen

How nice to see you again.  This was so beautiful yet so very sad.  I wish you much love and happiness in the New Year.

Here is a little something for you (not written by me) :

When the willow bends at the
first hint of troubled breezes,
our friends come running
to see how they can help.
Sometimes friends know
when they are needed
even before we realise it ourselves,
because we are accustomed to
letting them in on the
happenings of our lives


Take care........Sue

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Maureen, I know this feeling. This has a lot of sorrow for the end of a dream. I sometimes wonder if the dreams are worth it anymore.
But still we try, hm?
Happy New Year

I absolutely love those lines.

Happy New Year

Excellent!! Happy New Year!
