Soon…Time Crosses Sand

Moments from now…I count them, not by weeks,
or days…but valuable, non-expendable moments,

for very soon, it might be, that I may be able to see a life
before infinity takes over, lay a kiss upon her cheek,
offer a celebratory bon voyage that she
have an eternity’s trip…

one she has been waiting for, years, now, and then,

then, there will be a time for me, alone, to stand, adrift;
though, still, I will feel hands cross my heart, lift my chin,
then soon and afterwards, time will cross sand…

One could damn choices made, but then
who would hold one against one’s self, one’s free will
and acknowledge…I did this to myself;

ergo, free will equals, equates, connects
responsibility, hand in hand with
requisite need, and have;

foregoing want, and desire, for some.

Soon, soon enough, time crosses sand,
in realizing we cannot do all we wish for all we love;
while failure rears its head; one could be sorrowful;
one could sit down, and stop.

Just, stop.

But breath, my breath, is taken in; I still live,
I live, feeling a need to hold
my own; my own…

for soon, too soon, time crosses sand
sand has a way of moving…
moving has a way of
crossing, and soon,
it too, has a way
of coming…

~*~

and in coming across sands of time,
one day, long ago, I stepped across a threshold
and was welcomed…

welcomed into a place of hope, and life,
friendship, and circles, ripples, and
family…

Once again, a threshold has been crossed…
time has spun on, and I smile, an inner
smile, an outward grin…this is a
home, this is a place where I
thank God, each and
every day…

time crosses sand…

soon enough.

~*~

Dedicated…to my Family,
as well as to the Wizard…
and his Family of Friends.

Now you made me want to go to the beach!
A beautiful write, Karilea, and one to think about before the next sandman visit.

Wonderful Karilea, sister of my heart.
Congrats by the way.     Chrislane

I don’t want the world to see me

Mum? I'm keeping this. You KNOW I love everything you write, but this....
IWIHWT!     Gawd, you soar

AMEN!!! Lovely and magnificand view you widen for us to see.
This was a close encounter with a master piece...so elegant and rare, as your heart duplicates your soft eyes, long eyelashes and very wide forehead.
Extraordinary!
