Daze End Copyright 2003 by: MARK V SHELDON Eighteen wheels of reality imprint their treads across my naieve assumptions and my diesel epiphany flattens me with the weight: my parents won't be around forever! I project myself into my future and sense the sixteen ton loss across the miles vividly remembering conversations I made incidental while preoccupied with things forgotten rarely saying "I love you" before goodbye... I look at my dog coiled in a ball of sleep and can almost see his golden jowels turn white before me remembering all the times he'd bring me his rope toy to play tug-of-war only to be told to go lie down and my eyes swell when I imagine his empty pillow and the times when everything else was more important... The ring around my finger reminds me of how much I am loved and makes me shudder at the thought of living longer than my love who teaches me daily to never take for granted what makes my life worthwhile...

 (big hugggsssssss) Yes, every thing has a time but a love will never end and always know to embrace each day with a smile as all your loved ones want is for you to be happy and remind you the love can never change! (sigh) This has my vote, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mark, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

That is a fear I hate to face ever going before those I love. This was a fantastic poem - really enjoyed it. |

Mark, This hit home. I often think of the passing of time this way. You have captured my feelings and my yearnings to stop the clock so that I may linger in the present before it becomes the past. Great poem. No platitudes here just an honest appreciation of the writing. Sincerely, SG |
