Tide and Time

Icy shards reflect what is seen but not what is meant to be I will wait not on tomorrow as the temples begin to grey time moves along but not alone it has hope, it has perseverance it's dawns erupt, it's dusks construct moments, where feelings come alive where wanton needs are met on twisted trails or amid broken sails moments laying meaning to time lost in an incomprehensible continuum I will not wait on tommorow and let time dictate the day I will ride the trails I will open my sails in hope it will bring me your way "Tide and Time wait for no man." - Chaucer To all the gobblers out there. Just because you can't fly doesn't mean you should stop others from flying. Help lift others up not hold them down.

Indeed, Chaucer was correct. Out of all your poems I have read, this one is the most profound.

this in particular, "I will not wait on tomorrow and let time dictate the day I will ride the trails I will open my sails ..."

We must seize the day and not let those that are scared of failing hold us back.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again ...

This is great TS, love the subtle rhyme and internal rhyme sprinkled in the mix, reminds me of...hey did you write Leaf? If so, I am thrilled you're back...I was hoping you would reappear!

I like this. Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today for tomorrow may never come. Actions of love should be shared before it is too late...

This is a beautifully crafted piece, TS. And the message to all the gobblers is very effective, in my opinion.

Time and Tide - “We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.” Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

We all have our part to play. I wonder what part, protagonist and ... dear readers, you play?
