Rambling words

Time on my mind So much left behind Life stuck in rewind Doing my best Trying pass life's test As I bumble my way Through each day Learning as I go Because I wish to know If it was even worth the battle My bones now rattle The bodies way to tattle Of choices wrongly made Hoping to make the grade Nothing was ever meant to last Time starts moving so fast Life's a blast Sad Glad Mad Different aspects of one emotion Depends on the notion The eye Never sees a lie But the heart Falls apart Always seeking a new start But wants it to begin the same way Wake up it is the same day Find something new to say The rose Seeks a nose So you pluck it up to die Take a moment to cry Beauty wasted It's gift you tasted Then tossed aside It's beauty it couldn't hide Worlds collide So much left to say Just not today Mind resting Failing all the testing Words running loose Which words to choose Which to let go Just to grow You never know All these words I find Floating around in my mind My crazy mayhaps I'll take a relapse Reality I try to grasp a hold But it always starts to fold So I have been told Wasting time In some rhyme It doesn't cost a dime Playing with some word Never to be heard

Awesome poetic ramble Bill. And I'm not feeling guilty about the rose...
