Lifes Passing
Life’s Passing
Looking into my dark eyes, reflections I’ve seen.
I have come upon time !, speeding down stream.
It has been a steady, turbulent flowing, it seems,
like cold winter rains, - spring floods - lost dreams
that carries within them, – on their journey to the sea -
the essence of all that one dreams, could possibly be
before they run on into life’s ocean, death, decay
that will come to changes, some future day.
Until then, the debris, time’s passing leaves,
is the heart of what nourishes, what feeds,
– that poisons the soul, the spirit it doth destroy –
ones days, to live again, to know happier times, the joy
of rainbow gardens under ones passionate soul, singing
meadows, majestic mountains – protecting – bringing
pristine lakes into view, reflecting images of you,
diamonds, dancing upon streams only I knew,
existed as the essence of all humanities dreams,
dreams that come on waves of turmoil, and deems
that all we dream, is – in the end – but an illusion
that keeps us in a constant state of confusion.
