Upending Time I've often wondered why I write when the time slips by its availability and there is so little for the taking. It can bring me contentment or take with it my ease, leaving me untouchable as I move through the day. There is no passion attached to me, only noisy silence to set my path and party my mind, leaving me in signals of distress to cast off in the only way I know. I stroke my words carefully, fighting to keep them serene, trying not to disappoint but when dancing alone, forever seems like such a long time. He lets me know I am not forgotten, and I count down to a time of when. But if I fast forward to tomorrow, I wonder if the pleasure of each stroke will be felt. I press my thoughts to the darkness betraying my body, memorizing that which so long ago idled me in words. Unbound, I am free to be. For now, I close my eyes to all I see. For what is, may not be and what isn't is held in reserve, like grains of sand collecting until time is upended and they all spill out. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

"For now, I close my eyes to all I see. For what is, may not be and what isn't is held in reserve, like grains of sand collecting until time is upended and they all spill out." Excellent write Maureen...much enjoyed the read. ~Smiles & Hugs~ ~Before befriending butterflies |
