Premium Member It's strange how you don't lose yourself all at once
It's strange how you don't lose yourself all at once, but slowly, like a shadow that slips away unnoticed, One morning you wake up and you're just... someone else, a stranger in your own story, The motivation, the discipline, the routines you once clung to have vanished like the smoke of a memory, That version of you, full...

Premium Member I don't leave all at once, but slip away like ink running off old pages
I don't leave all at once, but slip away like ink running off old pages, Like a song you swore you'd never forget, until you do. It starts small—your name becomes foreign on my lips, Your messages remain unread, not out of anger, but from a strange helplessness. You don't ask why, maybe you don't notice, or maybe you...

Premium Member Two Things at Once
Like a typical elderly woman or man, I play back the scenes of my life in my mind’s eye - To yesterday and today from the time love began. At successes I smile, and at failures I sigh. It seems like I mostly did what I had to do. I made it atop the mountains I had to...

All At Once and Step By Step
That creature that walks inside your soul has become a house cat, but beasts are beasts after all. Before the fall and rise there was just a middle moment when we were only bewildered angels. We are still within a puzzle of our own making, but God is infinitely patient and She has a long leash....

A cosmic stage The evening sky Time and space In wondrous display.. Yet..the view may Seem as Emptiness appearing All-at-once.. Tales and teachings May seem to Sequence and separate Yet these too seem All-at once..as Vastness explodes......

Premium Member All At Once I Knew
All at once… I realized that it was peace Who left me breathless, Hope who left me without a question, Faith who knew my deepest need, And love who silenced my every fear All at once… I knew, down deep inside me, That there is something more important Than my own tears – my own needs… There is someone who prays, prays And, in my gift...

Premium Member Two Places At Once
They say you can’t be in two places at the same time. Like so many errors, that knowledge is based on fact and not experience. I know this is true because I have been in many places at once. The other day, for instance, I was lying on top of the stone wall of a...

At Once
At Once by Michael R. Burch Though she was fair, though she sent me the epistle of her love at once and inscribed therein love’s antique prayer, I did not love her at once. Though she would dare pain’s pale, clinging shadows, to approach me at once, the dark, haggard keeper of the lair, I did not love her at once. Though she would share the...

Everything At Once
Sometimes there's time that you're trying to fill, A stretch with no upcoming plans, When suddenly, hours you were needing to kill Disappear like a movie with pans. For everything happens at once, so it seems - Obligations, repairs and requests, Adding stress to your life and appearing in dreams Where you find yourself failing all tests. The expression is apt - either...

We Can Still Be Everywhere At Once
the mighty bees came out of the walls with weird attitude they entered the infant which ended up well-baked. all the bubblegum streets suddenly turned ice-cold but meanwhile everyone sleeps and blood’s being sucked. it’s been proven that the father is younger than the son and that he threw him out of home before he was born. the magnitude of the...

Forever At Once
Folding the past inside the present Rolling the future in layers of perpetual time Escaping from one then the other leaving all three in simulation A dancer shrouded in mystery —all things forever at once (Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2014)...
