The fluid movements of the sands of time One is often appalled by the beauty of the flow As they watch the sand accumulate around them They don't realize it's their life that they're letting go The sand on their feet seems trivial at first. But under their noses, time will quickly amass Yet still they go about daily routines As the sand covers old friends from the past Some may begin to comprehend what is happening Fear consumes where eagerness did reside Thoughts of loneliness urges them to wade through sands Wandering, looking, searching for another to stand beside Sand covers the top of their knees now Soon they will stand immobilized So they take one last good stride Before they begin a new life Hoping they can leave an impression They share knowledge with a child Leaving their future in anothers hands It makes them think it was all worthwhile They really did live a common tale I hope they enjoyed the show Each person has a grip on a handle Most don't know that they control the flow -------------------------------------------- Please don't be overly critical, This one was trown together in a short time span. Just trying to reflect some feelings that have come up at one time or another... You are only as old as you think you are. |

Creperum..... I had no idea your talent was so defined. This is really beautiful, and I'm sure others will agree completely. I'm actually jealous. You've shown me up...but I will give credit where it is deserved. Congragulations and welcome to passions, my love....Please keep posting and keep writing, you have a knack for this and it helps to release emotions otherwise kept secret and bottled. REALEASE THE GENIE!!!!! Good work (as I've said on here before) is an understatement. |

P.S. You should read complications, Creperum...it's a lot like Overcast, but different in many ways. It has a lot to do with the subject of most of the poetry I've been writing the last 3 days. |
