The Walk with Clock

Tender torn our feet all walk this path
For the street is dense but made of glass
And how it shatters if you trip and fall
It breaks like speed bumps on a freeway fast

Alone each moves along times fragile dock
With time though blurred veracious and so steady
If you jump it waits just up the road
With its magic pocket opening ready

Ease me over the rim of this feared place
Bring me the grace to read your open face
Don’t try to hold my youth within your arms
truth tells me that a lie is so embraced

Lover take me in your sweet delay
Usurp the movement forward to that place
Let me steady be in tide that takes
Each grain of sand to sea without a trace

I am just a traveler looking for a home, finding I carry it around with me, and sometimes it's just too heavy.

I pray for this as well. (Beautifully written!)

There are times when you really rock my soul.

This is one of those times.

Your eyes see beyond what is there, into what may be, could someday come to be, and always deeply into what should be.

Thank you for this vision, clearly written with a loving hand for someone luckier than anyone deserves to be.

Martie,

What a lovely poem, astutely following the theme of time throughout the poem in many colorful ways. You are a very talented poetess! I enjoyed this a lot and probably will check this one out periodically.
