There is no mist of time
in the clarity of mind
but clouded so with work-a-days
and nights of unknown bliss
it is as if it’s swamp-like
and murky to the depths.

And one can drown face down
if not for the turn-around
up and unto the perceived
saving grace of time
that moves like a lover’s hands
o’er the commonplace.

Yet and yet time like a train
switches tracks and disappears
into its immediate creation
that leaves a woman standing
on cold and heartless concrete
bewildered and confused
at how the now can be.

The next one comes straight and true;
she boards the love of you
and travels through the countryside
still yet to arrive and disembark
at Clarity!

Thank you Dixie! Yes, the train is slow but it thankfully does chugs along. So good to see you back here!

Hi, Honeybunch.

I've had entire relationships that were well described in that last stanza! Oh, well. I'm done searching and soon to be "tied down!"

Anyhow, great, though-provoking write.
