Capture Time

Can we capture time
in a crystal hour glass
because these precious moments
all seem to quickly pass
Can we touch the stars
before they fade away
keep them in a little box 
and hide them from the day
Can we remain here sleeping
and hold on to these dreams
so they won't be forgotten and
unravel at the seams?

Very nice poem. I love the images, and time is one of my favorite subjects to write on. Very nice poem again. Thanks for sharing.

I like your style, and believe me, I don't say that often. I'm a bit picky about what I read, and I appreciate anyone that takes the time to make their work flow AND rhyme! Kudos, Curt
