Sometimes Stilled

increments of time
lorn on fate's hands
lie motionless
as if frozen
like one drop
of winter's rain
on the edge
of an icicle 
restrained

thank you so much Jennifer...i think because i always sat outside in nature when i was upset, as a child in a tree, as a teen in meadows or woods, as an adult at secluded parks, nature just inspires me more and is almost always in my writes...somehow.... hugs and blessings to you my friend :)

Beautifully done Sandy. Time can be a friend or it can be an foe but with a good friend close by it can be forgotten in the moments shared. I love how you did this, your vision amazes me.

thank you so much, the conversation with my ill friend inspired this, as she said to me the days leading to my next appointment are moving so slow, as if time stopped...after i hung up with her, a poem was born.... hugs

I see that frozen drop--exquisite in every way, Sandy--so much in so few words.

Thank you Vijay, glad you could see it, my friend with cancer called me, she said time is dragging too much for her next dr visit and she wanted to talk to pass some time, and ease the fear...it inspired this write... hugs
