The mist of past caught my glance
and held it there a spell
like a magician would suspend
a lady in the air.

The power of my mind
like a feather flies in wind
freely floats down memory lane  
till unstable is the platform
of my time concept.

But meticulous and thorough
and in depth recollections
steal and kill the spark
from the flame of life today
and leave no embers glowing
to highlight happiness.  

And yet the spell of growth
immeasurable in merit
and the knowledge gained of love
inestimable in worth
should be a stepping stone
and not untimely mist
rising from the ground.

The mist is there, it’s here today,
and the blind lead the blind
like a mind leads the heart
through flames of deep recall
to the spark of present times.

The spark of present times
will one day be a flame
when balanced on the platform
of my time concept
each day, week, month, and year,
becomes as one moment.

A lifetime to one moment
and our moments are all there
somewhere deep inside
the abiding
and ever rising
eternal mist of time!

and I believe in it's own time, it will be just that!

I've missed you!

Yes indeed they are. For perhaps we are only here just one moment in time. Excellent!
hugs, Chris

Hi, Martie - I'm still around but am perhaps coming out of the writing spell.  They say there's a season for all things - it's been a long season for me.

Thank you, Chris, for the read and for so kindly commenting.

Hi, Bluesy!  How nice to see you here.  Yes, indeed, there is beauty but perhaps spirit is spirit and human is human and another million years or so will see the two totally combined in all and everyone.
