Tim Smith Poet Lyric

Pictures and Postcards

Pictures and postcards
crumpled up letters
memories of moments
captured in a nighttime dream

Picnics and flowers
warm summer breezes
whispers and kisses
captured in a daytime dream

Feelings are flowing, circling and dipping
creating allusions - causing confusion
life pushes on - pressing and pulling
leaving a memory etched in a restless mind

I wait - alone - one with the morning dew
scared - lost - in moments without you
no going back, no turning back
scared of a future with no you

Pictures and postcards
crumpled up letters
memories of moments
captured in a nighttime dream

Feelings are flowing, circling and dipping
creating allusions - causing confusion
life pushes on - pressing and pulling
leaving her memory etched in a unclear mind

Muddling through motions
moonbeams and raindrops
sunshine and silence
Life goes on, or so it seems

Vladislav Raven January 12, 2016 at 6:48 PM Hi Tim, have you never found that sadness can sing so beautiful when it is placed before us so gently. You have that gift my friend. You can create beauty out of the emotions you feel at the moment. Always let your heart sing Tim, it is a limitless ocean. A seven....Vladislav.

Eileen Manassian January 3, 2016 at 1:56 PM Tim.... sad writes of late. Makes me sad to read. Hauntingly sad, but sometimes a whole lifetime of love can be in those pictures and postcards....there's the beauty of it all... Blessings Tim Smith January 3, 2016 at 2:01 PM Thanks Eileen. Holidays can be a lonely time when your loved ones aren't with you all the time. I did write another one but haven't post it yet. Much happier : )
