Reality Is Lost

The days are getting shorter But the nights are certainly longer The brilliance of the evening Brings lifelong expansion As time moves slower So does our heart move slower And words get lost amongst The many timeless nights along The nights are going towards Late travels without a passport And I hate being lost into The night air all alone As the waves approach high tide So does the moon preach timidly About the times lost into space And the world seems to stop Now is the time to sort Emptiness out of nothing And ride tide towards the edge Of oblivion, where moments are forgotten Just as time speaks of longer So our words st art to fal l a par t A nd I a m lo st t ow ard s n ot h in g An d re a l ity I s l o st fo r ev e r Russell Sivey

..'Now is the time to sort Emptiness out of nothing..' Such a thoughtful, penetrating line out of many in your deep write Russell. Your imagery is deeply reflective - your third stanza is especially brilliant. A beautiful poem and thoroughly enjoyed!
