As Time Stood Still

My pen finds pause my body is broken, a weighted horror cleaves my breast The strings of hope sliced as I put dreams to the sword, but hands now whisper to stars across a fabric brushed heaven Tomorrow is a lie of mysteries today is in the now of knowing, Like burning comets the pain thrashes into my hearts core A journeys end now nears the roads all find dead ends, revived from a morass of mourning eyes are filled with oceans A dirge plays and dances in a procession free of flesh, as shadows carry me home infinitesimal tears find silence I am weary of time I've smashed the clocks crushed every watch tick tocks, now stopped With the enemy defeated I forge ahead untimed, wild and finally free uncaged from fear and doubt In truth tomorrow has been gone in thousands of minutes, the sandman flies in golden dust that's now sparkling my eyes   In sleep I shall find eternities gate holding it open yet never entering, until your hand slips into mine time my love will stand in my mind Until we meet again ...

Jayne, I chanced upon an old poem of mine that you had commented to back in 2012 and it got me to remembering you. I think you had been very sick at that time. are you doing ok now? This one shows a lot of suffering you have gone through. This is a very well written poem and I pray you are ok.
