What Is This Space

What is this Space. What is this space, where I am in between This moment that I use, and then is cast Twix places I am going, and the many I have been This moment that is now, and then is passed What marvels have I missed in an eyes blink What words ignored whilst dreaming out the day So many, when, about it all, I think And now I want, to late, for gone are they Slipping by aloof, Times unseen wave He scatters treasures, both in blue and gold No promises along the way he gave Was up to me to take them and to hold So now I wake, the mind, the door, flung wide Though memories of the past I can’t replace I welcome blue and gold on rushing tide And no longer have too ask, what is this space.

Dear Mr Seal...Perhaps you might want to take another look at the last line of stanza two...Yes, you do TOO know why! ;) Also...an EYE'S blink is all it takes to know that this is just a superb poem. You are a wonderful poet.

Grab and savor every moment, Richard. I like your phrase "Slipping by aloof. Times unseen wave." Good one, my friend. Licia :-)
