All the World Races Away , While I Pause

All The World Races Away , While I Pause I will write yet again this sweet night, cows need milking , the barn cleaning. Sunny morn but this place is a sore sight, critters need feeding, fence is leaning! I will hold my thoughts until sunset, a chore that allows me to still give. Sure life is a gamble, a very sad bet yet we must learn to love and let live! Do not sorrow for my poor saddened cause, there is gold in the clouds, a kiss awaits. All the world races away , while I pause to tempt her and curse the darker fates! Standing on the precipice to now decide. Does one rage on to live or race away to hide? Robert J.

I can feel the warring on the inside to do what is right that the writer is experiencing.. I chose to read this one because it is a sonnet but I enjoyed the content very much. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

Indeed through your words Robert, we've lived them, and no one can hide from them. You sure can write my friend, and I love your thoughts on life, James :) :)
