Life just takes me In it’s own time and speed Into uncharted waters on the bareback of steed And I fight against the currents, taken deeper in each wave Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream I cannot save Pulling harder Life just takes me Far from shore and undefined Somehow deafened in the pounding as the hope I had resigned And I struggle to move closer to the warmth of used to be Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream I cannot see Unrelenting Pulling harder Life just takes me forward still To a strange place called without you, keeping me against my will To a new time and a new face that I shy away and fight Leaving teardrops in my footprints for a dream with all my might In a whirlpool life just takes me Making silent every hope Pulling from me what so clearly both my lifeline and my rope And I must go said so fairly to the spirit in the glass Leaving teardrops in my footprints as the time of dreams must pass Copyright Kkh 3/22/05 |

This poem almost brought me to tears, made me a tad misty eyed...Sheesh, written with such emotion... |

In a whirlpool life just takes me Making silent every hope Pulling from me what so clearly both my lifeline and my rope And I must go said so fairly to the spirit in the glass Leaving teardrops in my footprints as the time of dreams must pass teardrops sink in the footprints old dreams buried in the sands freedom is ringing |

this was absolutely magnificent, the sound somewhat sad and I liked the way you portrayed time taking you forward, even though you didn't want to go...this was mystical....enjoyed. |
