gray clouds in ether
elicit voyage to soul
sparkling shine again

In times that we live
One belief holds true
The ones that hold on
Should be held by you
To remain into future
Make your own purlieu
You have to be strong
In case they need you...

through kitchen's window
dreary, gray, cold winter day
in garden's purlieu
golden daffodils like sun
lift spirits, warm hearts, gives hope

To everything..
Turn, turn, turn
Standing upon this ledges edge
Uncovered as peering amid
The city lights below
Biopsies water colours..
Moments splashed about
This vestige of neons
Dissecting organisms hues called life ?
Time, seeking purlieu sorties
Reasons incised..
Lifted from the palette
Of brushed; their rhyme....

Listen to poem:

Act of Time
David J Walker

The purlieu of my childhood survives in dreams 
And haunts me as I drive its hazy streets 
Though everything’s complete 
		Still intact as if
Some sort of act of time
What was is mine 
As I repeat each line as if
Spoken in foreign language play
So far away in a distant auditorium...

Advancing purlieu dawns on growing up;
the outskirts of our lives will change o'er time. 
Unwanted confines normalize our lives
as we accept each demarcation line.

To everything turn, turn, turn ~

Standing upon the ledges edge; uncovered

As peering about her city lights below?!

Gathering in biopsies water colours

Moments splashed atop their vestige be neons

Dissecting organisms called life; time

Seeking purlieu sorties reasons incised!?

Lifted, from his palette of brushed; this rhyme....
