Time Will Tell

I only tell of sunny hours... We are not so different you and I, though your stone face can never last. In time how much more telling, are the shadows that we cast. 02/02/19 For Sundial Wisdom Poetry Contest Sponsored by Julia Ward

Superb write, Maureen, on every level that matters to me ... and how the shadows change with time. Fav-ing. It speaks to me, too. ;-)

I don't care if you take an illusive route or a straight one, you do amazing illustrations in word. I'm getting tired of you flooring me; and I'm a stand up dude! WOW

I like this Mo, it hides within the conundrum of how do we get out from beneath those shadows.....to cast our own....

Oooh, this is awesome, Maureen! That final verse knocks it out of the ball park. Our legacies, or shadows, are all that remain in the end. Very clever and well written! Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn

Thank you Paul! Though it just occurred to me, this sponsor may hate clichés, so the title might sink me ;p oh well, I went to sea in a sieve I did. xomo!

Oooh..... you do not speak of the dark hours... but sometimes, it is best to talk about them, so people can try to understand.. but, sadly, some never do...

I love how this one spoke to you <3
