Time scatters Open fields before me Lights that flicker in the night Rude words are said and lost As time continues on Brief pauses in in life hault our creativity We leave ourselves open for review But who? Who will judge you? What will find us left with no rainbow of glory? Time scatters on Dusty fields with people who have dusty thoughts Thoughts flow in and out of our minds We hear the wind call our names Time scatters It surrounds us in blood shed tears of joy and pain We try to rewrite the details of the past Time is all we have It scatters fast and leaves us here We are the judges Hold true and stay strong Remember there still is life After time has scattered on Today I remember a friend that was dear and true.. This is why I did this repost.. "Sometimes at night the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." |

I missed this the first time you posted it, LC... I'm so glad you posted it again. This is a treasure. It's well written, melodic, and meaningful. Plus, one of my favorite subjects. Thank you for sharing.  dp |

Time shattered on the floor Today Broken into billion shards Spilled coffee on formica Hands autoshaking Vivid memories Out of place and mind Time slides by With subtle ease A corpse upon oily seas Leaving me naught but palsied I recall, dimly, the light in your eyes They were blue, right? Blue eyes bright with life? Or maybe they were brownish Not that it's important Just something made me think of you The coffee cup I dropped Reminded me of you I make my way to my comfy chair In threadbare slippers And an old polyester jumper Finding the phone to call An old, dead, remembered Friend Before I weep And sleep Alicat feeling a tad morose |
