When we let life take us on this wild ride 
we let it slip away 
we take things for granted 
seen and unseen 
and miss out on so much

Things were different

Unnoticed we let them slip away

again and again 
to revisit our love 
and why I foolishly 
let it slip away
Self torture? No
To feed my soul's 
addiction

Slip away from me.

words are found, not forced ebbing and flowing like waves capture them quickly when inspiration beckons or they’ll gently slip away

Premium Member Backroom

When fear and stress
   overwhelm
I squeeze into the backroom 
   of my mind...
I slip away 
into the world of words

Words that tell
   and know,
   and heal.

Stillness

When life begins to slip away,
I take a bath.
With one last breath,
I hold myself under the water.
In this stillness, I am calm.
The relief of death seems to comfort me.

Premium Member I'M Alone I Am

I'm alone I am;
gone he is.

I'm still alive I found out;
I'm pacing myself.

Doin' the best I can.
I can't do more than I can I can't.

The time slip away sure does.

Untold

Untold tears
as helpless, I watch
you, the one who was my world,
slowly, slowly slip away,
knowing that someday soon
yours will be yet another photograph
that I talk to...

My Tears Call

A new day has just dawned and I grieve
that I am lying all alone
My foolish pride got to me
I let you slip away
Now I am crying
for what is gone
My tears call
out your
name
Form: Nonet

Worry Meditation

Fall away from me
like leaves fall from the trees. 
A gentle passing.
Be a seed swept by the breeze. 

Like a fine layer of frost melts under the sun,
slip away, fleeting sigh. 
Be gone.

Life does slip away 
a soul's consciousness sustains;

Truth

It's a Beautiful day.
Don't let it slip away.
Carpe Diem.


And in the End.
The Love You Take is equal
to the Love You make.


In the face of arms, Laws are dumb !


Peace be with you.

Premium Member Who

who is my mother?
What happened in those early days?
when did you let time slip away?
where did you do for so long?
why didn't you come back?

(on a child learning that he is adopted)

Butterfly Wings

Must we look at the world from an adult view
seeing all that is wrong?
Or should we reside in our childhood
on the beating wings of birds?
Or are we to let it slip away
on fleeting butterfly wings?

Premium Member Best way to launch the weekend

Friday nights call for aroma therapy relaxation
Light a patchouli scented candle 
Release the bouquet of merlot
Sit back and wind down
Let the past week simply slip away

Premium Member Day and Night

One moment, a hint of love
The next, abruptly shoved

Hands over heart: Pray
Unpromised is the day

Yet when sure is certain
by Noonday's light --
  
Shadows stalk dark alleyways
  ~ Pray, slip away
