Daniel Larson Poet Rhyme

Journeys In and Out of Time

From over distant skyline
     rides tomorrow’s eternity . . .
Eclipsing the rising sun
     with a silent tranquillity.
Through the dreams of unborn babes
     travel the truths of what’s to come,
To be pushed from mortal minds
     when their worldly life’s begun.

Love becomes the skeltered cloud
     breaking in and out of the hearts,
Casting the shadows of doubt
     that fall like rains of pois’ness darts.
Beauty lasts but for the day,
     passing by and then soon forgot,
Yet still held for one kept true
     is the pure soul which was first sought.

Pathways join the dusted roads
     that disappear from youthful views;
Moving into the unknown,
     heeding a call they can’t refuse.
Sailing ships have caught the breeze
     from a time too hard to conceive,
And left upon crumbling docks
     are those whom were not meant to leave.

Pride and prejudice are joined
     by the slow fading memories,
They await embodiment
     in a forest thinned by disease.
As implied in scripture’s old,
     new days will come without a fuss;
Been silently looking for
     each and every one of us.

Once again off to the east
     there be signs of a setting sun,
And still are with lessons learned,
     the ones who walk before they run.
Nothing much in looking back
     will slow the dance of future’s mime;
Even less will change the course
     of journeys in and out of time.
