Rift

the subtle gaze…
is it just me scenting the lavender
and mind playing symphony?
why do i stutter while speaking
and my leg trembling anxiously?
oh is it the same for you
the waning pace of the clock?
zillions many questions,
not a single answer.
moments dilated to eternity.

yet
why does
rift befall
instantly?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
