Maria Williams Poet Rhyme

Sunny Horizons - POTD

POTD 20 Dec 2018

Like sand in an hour glass
Time moves so fast
A precious commodity
Not meant to last

Measured in hours
Minutes unfold
Time waits for no man
So I’ve been told

Facing my demons
 Refusing to stagnate or rust
Releasing my fate to all that I trust
I observe my negativity
turn into dust

Kookaburras laugh and the Magpies flute
along to the strings of an imaginary lute
In wild abandon my Spirit I bare
the untamed wind blows my hair
My bright yellow dress matches the Sun
A New Phase has now begun

Footnote
There is a time for hellos and time for goodbyes and I feel this is my time now to do just that. 

To all my poetic friends who have supported me on my poetic journey, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep writing your wonderful words, you have been an inspiration. I have made many good friendships here, ones that I will always value and appreciate.

Let me take this opportunity to wish all my fellow poets on PS 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BRIGHT AND WONDERFUL 2019
