in the blink of an eye life changes whether we want it to or not
Sometimes, life feels unreal to me
as if I am a wind
passing through the souls of people,
understanding them deeply,
yet never staying long enough
to become a part of them.
I have travelled beyond
the borders of my imagination,
through places I once only dreamed of,
and met versions of myself
I never knew existed.
Yet somehow,
the journey of experience
never truly ends.
I keep moving,
carried by the wind,
collecting fragments of every soul I meet,
every place I leave behind,
and every moment
that changes me.
Perhaps that is what life is
not a place to arrive,
but an endless journey
through people, memories,
and worlds within ourselves.
youthful bright summer
teaches us play and laughter
then hands earth's baton
to autumn for demos of
beauty found in life's cycle
AS TIME PASSES, I REMEMBER YOUR SMILE,
YOUR EYES HOW THEY WOULD LIGHT UP
WHEN YOU WERE HAPPY.
AS TIME PASSES, I REMEMBER
HOW HAPPY WE WERE
WHEN WE WERE FIRST IN LOVE.
YEARS HAVE PAST SINCE WE PARTED
BUT I STILL SEE YOU IN MY MIND
I STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE.
AS TIME PASSES NOTHING HAS CHANGED
YEARS HAVE PAST AND MY LIFE
HAS GONE ON WITHOUT YOU
AS TIME PASSES I CAN STILL
HEAR YOU SPEAKING TO ME EVEN THOUGH
YOU’RE NOT HERE.
AS TIME PASSES THOUGHTS FLOOD MY MIND
OF WHAT WE HAD, WHAT WE WERE,
AND WHAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN
AS TIME PASSES, I’VE LEARNED
WE WERE NOT MEANT TO
BE TOGETHER IN THIS LIFE
TO THIS DAY IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART
BECAUSE I STILL LOVE
AND MISS YOU
AS TIME PASSES
advertised herself as the biggest faerie to date
dressed herself in a tutu and did a quick figure eight
four hundred pounds had never moved this fast before
she passed a bit of gas as she sailed out the front door
the children were delighted, they screamed with delight
she twirled back inside, her cheeks were all pink and bright
best faerie in the world, a little girl with pigtails said.
the faerie felt good; this gave her an enormous big head
ashes drift through streets
foundations crack into dust
false tongues guide the crowd
we watch as the pillars fall
we're silent heirs to ruin
shouts of protest fade
pleas for change lost in the void
swallowed by neglect
travesties parade as law
complacency rains on guilt
even those prepared
trained to weather storms and fire
find their tools undone
in a tide that won't recede
against headlong climate change
cry for children's sake
their innocence locked in halls
their hope dims and fades
as our shadows fall on them
darkening their fragile plight
worsening within
erosion of soul and will
the mirror grows dim
our humanity watches
complacent letting self fade
where have voices gone
we long for them in passing
we ask but can't sing
we pick flowers to fill graves
we never learn time's passing
where have our blooms gone
onto graves we keep digging—
questions circle back
who is there to sow not weep
who will plant flowers in spring
As time passes there is also a change in view
You don't do the same things that you used to do
You learn from your mistakes as you mature
You seem to learn patience as you endure
Things don't hurt you the way that they used to
You're leaning on a higher source just to get through
Remember to allow the time to heal all pain
Because failures keeps you from remaining the same
Allowing time to pass is what helps you to grow
Making bad decisions is the only way you will know
People you deal with help you learn life's lessons
As time passes you will see the greater blessings
Humility would always be needed as you're learning
Teaching you to slow down and always be discerning
As you get older you start to see a greater you
As time passes you learn what and what not to do..
Tonight this full moon shines down,
flooding my mind with old memories,
of the way I used to be when
I was younger, wilder,
and free.
I know I can’t go back
and try to find those youthful days
that now haunt my mind
but I have no regrets of anything
that I might have left behind.
Age demanded a high cost
and some of those things
I hoped to keep, got lost
in the mix when my years began
to fade away.
So don’t let your hopes go up in smoke
never treat life like it’s a joke
slow down and take the time to live
in the here and now.
Forget and
Forgive.
You will never have another chance
to pass this way again
Inspired by Henry David Thoreau
Live In Each Season As It Passes, For nothing is ever so sure
Only that time is fleeting, and Death is never too far
Breathe the Air for to Breathe is to live
Drink the Drink for time it slips,
Taste the fruit for here and now is all there is
Resign Yourself and be Influenced by a life of Bliss
Niagara Falls
water flows can’t be stopped
time likewise passes
Another storm we are both going through
Darling I'll always walk the storms with you
It is you who has to bear all the pain
i pray for you to become well again.
I will love you always, as you love me
And care for you through each stormy frenzy
The sun will shine again on the morrow
Taking away the strain and the sorrow.
As long as we are guided by the Light
That shines in our hearts by day and by night
We shall be kept safe in our dear Lords care
And there’ll be an answer to my prayer.
Daydreaming
White clouds float on a navy sky
like sails unfurled.
Warm breeze caresses my face
like a gentle kiss.
My body relaxed on green grass
like a soft mattress.
Tranquil thoughts flood my mind
like a lazy flowing river.
Babbling brook soothes my soul
like a mellow tune.
Lips curl back in a small smile
as my unhurried day passes by.
Life Passes Like A Ghost Ship, Adrift, Amidst the Mists Of Time
and Whisks back into the Ether of Everlasting Light,
Slipping Through the Fray of Death and Dust
to bring back the Wisdom from Above,
though the ticking drifts and shifts the Hourglass
Nothing Is Lost, All Is Eternal in the Aftermath
Into the Mists of the Seas Of Life
where the Infinite intertwines with the Finite,
and brings back to Shore the Keys Of Mastery
Conquering the Illusions of Duality,
and the Sacred Rises above The Beyond, As ONE
and sets upon The Graveyard Of Broken Ships, As The SUN
Be prepared all you young'uns
The golden years aren't always golden
Looking ahead when I was younger
Thought, “what a fantastic notion”
Life would be a blast lounging around
Enjoying my life at its best
Sorry to have to burst your bubble
Coz here comes the real test
You wake up early each morning
Ready for come what may
But it isn't too long before you realize
You have no plans per say
Suddenly you've become very aware
You're not needed the way you once were
You still have so much to offer
But life has passed you by in a whirr
The hardest thing for you to get used to
The fact you're no longer the star
The world is still singing and motoring along
But you're not driving the car
So be prepared all you young'uns
The golden years aren't that golden
Enjoy life before the inevitable happens
When time passes by in slow motion
My club
