Folds

The day folds in on itself 
         The pictures on the wall remain the same
While faces and feelings begin to change
         Time can be a curse to a broken heart
Waiting for the spirit to become a part
         Of something bigger than itself

  Vanities Visions pale to Wisdom earned
        And Faith that’s learned
 To look outside itself

  Time weaves its stitches into me
         As it passes by without a care
   But tends to miss one here and there
          Revealing little rips and tears

 Tiny holes to see right through
         But never Exposing a total view
 Of the Mind’s Eye

          Soulful Silence encompasses me
                           As
  I Unfold into another night.

Wonderful poem Chris as deep as I see it, I imagine it is one of those that likely mean so much more to you than we can ever fathom.

wow, that's so deep. Very well crafted poetry, Chris. Oh, it's so depressing too. I really started seeing it after age 58.

Some things do remain the same, Chris, but many others change, including us! Physical changes are most noticeable; it's the ones within that need searching for, usually when we have time and quiet moments for meditation. ~ Regards // paul

Thanks Paul...I love my quiet soulful moments...good thing for most of us that changes for the better inside out-way the outward decline :) C.H.

May I suggest to change “began” to begin? The rest of the piece is written in present tense. I very much enjoyed the overall feel of this piece.

Thanks so much for being the first to visit, and great catch on my grammar there! :) I think sometimes all of us poets get wrapped up in the feel of our work and "tend to miss one here and there"...nice save Richard, have an awesome day :) C.H.
