I’m here in the everyday cut and chip of soul from static pose to flying mode afraid of where I’ll fall and time, uncertain time, swings me back and forth between success and failure. And all who wish upon a prayer cessation of a moving star know sleep brings no release beneath the weight of dreams heavy, heavy, heavy, until the dawn, awakening, though enlightenment like yonder star travels sky and travels high beyond the reach of open minds. Like a homemade mish-mash stew I’m dished up from pot to you. Swing me high, swing me low, swing me to the floor below but deft the hands of time that stitch, cut, weave, entwine, fine filigrees of my desire into another place and time. Time, uncertain time, ‘tis neither friend nor foe that twists and turns and cuts adrift my fleshy parts from soul for one and all in separate form know time still learns like you and me … the merits of a wholesome meal! |

'beneath the weight of dreams heavy, heavy, heavy,' I feel that often. Thanks for the good read, Helen. |

and time, uncertain time, swings me back and forth between success and failure. Yes indeed, and I've always pondered if that is our destiny...the surprise? And all who wish upon a prayer cessation of a moving star know sleep brings no release beneath the weight of dreams heavy, heavy, heavy, until the dawn, awakening, though enlightenment like yonder star travels sky and travels high beyond the reach of open minds. maybe, but sometimes there are those that do reach up and catch some meaning....I promise. Like a homemade mish-mash stew I’m dished up from pot to you. Swing me high, swing me low, swing me to the floor below but deft the hands of time that stitch, cut, weave, entwine, fine filigrees of my desire into another place and time. Time, uncertain time, ‘tis neither friend nor foe that twists and turns and cuts adrift my fleshy parts from soul for one and all in separate form know time still learns like you and me … the merits of a wholesome meal! You are a tremendous writer....this was an awesome read...thank you |
