The roses, red and pink, darken in the shadows, Bird quiet their twitter as they perch for the night, Grows twinkling from heaven’s ten thousand small windows, The terrace stone has no paleness from the moonlight, Star crying fills the night as he sits all alone, All the while asking himself where the time has gone.

I wonder, did he count the nights his fingers shadowed the moonlight? Shading dawn with strong forearm-- perhaps that's where the time has gone... |

Thank you, Kit McCallum, When the sky fills with shooting stars, What can one do but sit back, Sip a little wine and ponder, Pleased you enjoyed my pondering muse. Thank you, Serenity Blaze, I’ve stopped counting lonely nights, Content just to let them pass, I couldn’t count the sparkling lights, I’ll just enjoy as they last. Glad you enjoyed these words, Enough to give such a wonderful Poetic response. Gloom |

Of Time's Passing Night sky graces the dark with its stars In moments passing, drifting go I Dreams of a time when in arms comfort, yours 'Til daylight appears and the stars are in hide. Time moves so quickly, unfolding its hold Beauty and truth seem to lessen its wear Not enough time, as each morn begins rise Waiting for never, a time once to share. Do you recall any moment from this? Frozen in mind, each memory's kiss Uncovering my thoughts wherein shadows lie To be second to none, in time's passing, wish I. M |

dear dark one… when taking toll numbered investigations pale in comparison in the tally of yesterdays the sum of possibilities does not factor till death helen |

Thank you, Zinsser, A little mouse once sang “Some where out there, … wishing on the same bright star” Perhaps they were the same streaks across the heavens, It certainly was the same big sky. Thank you, Nakdthoughts, Time is just slow spinning of dark and light, Endless cycle of day following night, If footprints on ground or dreams in the sky, What difference makes markers measured by. When chopped from life my life rings will you see, Events building it own reality. Thank you, 1slick_lady, In death My rings will burn Then to smoke All I was All I did learn Beyond count Unable to divide Returns to zero At the end Of the ride Gloom |

Sometimes time stops for just a moment and then the moment is gone then we dream about tomorrow and the coming of the new dawn. Sometimes time is but a memory that comes knocking at your door slipping into the realms of yesterday because time holds so much more. thank you for the bit of inspiration /pip/Forum70/HTML/003906.html as my muse has not wanted me to write lately. I enjoyed these thoughts of yours. somebody tell me, please help me.... understand.......(as sung by Trace Adkins) {on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (08-13-2002 08:27 PM).] |
