Quicksilver Days

The sky china blue
with not a ripple on the sea
it feels good to be alive
a wholeness of me

the kind of day that takes you back
to when everything was new
and there was wonder in the world
and there was right
and there was true

We must savor days as such
and pause for life`s simple joys
a smile from a happy child
and a home that hasn`t been destroyed

These days are like mercury in your hand
handle them carefully
and watch them shine

But dare to blink
and what seemed solid
will run away
with no hope again to find

so console yourself with the fact
that what doesn`t change
is change
and live your life
to love your life
before there are no more
quicksilver days

Very lovey poem

A very good read

Daniel

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

here's to you for grabbing on2 the good times & not letting the darkness cause it all to go to gray. God bless.

I enjoyed this poem immensly, though I think my quicksilver days are far behind me. True, change is probably the only thing that never changes.
