Time Is Constantly Chasing...

the silver framed reading glasses rest on the nose of a father 
who’s lost in his novel as he sits up in his now love empty bed
he’s living a different life in the journey he’s taking as he absorbs 
the black and white words that are full of color in his head

the tick-tock if his dad’s pocket watch is a reminder
that his own time is constantly chasing after him
and on the wall a giant’s silhouette is reading over his shoulder 
that’s created by the single switch bulb that has also grown dim 

he leans over and pulls down on the string attached to the light 
and it swings like the pendulum on the grandfather clock in next room
as the wrinkles around his eyes help to ease them shut and after a moment 
his dreams put him back into the journey that he wanted to resume

Premium Member Changing Time

If I made a journey back in time
I could change things in history
Reflecting only the good
Changing a piece of time
Emitting the bad
transformation
reflecting 
today's
state.



If I could figure out a new way 
IF you could whirl it like a dime
and find a way to break time
changing space and matter
into fine segments
slowing matter
in seconds
stopping 
time


If I made a time journey forward
All would be changed for better
The bad would be erased now
transformation complete
new restoration
bring balance
a new order
on earth
complete

Mortal Beings

Why is humanity filled with hardship for some?
And then for others a free flowing clarity
Through the years of Christianity 
I have now established a new view 
My believes of God have not changed 
Just the possibilities of an after life and the journey 
The journey of now today 
The reasons we choose who we are
It’s no mistake or coincidence who we’ve become   
Or what we come here to learn
And perhaps some of us don’t learn 
And are forced to redo it all over again 
We are truly brothers and sisters 
Mothers and daughters 
Husbands and wives 
Connected from past lives 
Experiencing life and its essence
No matter the outcome!
