Short Slipped Through Your Fingers Poems

~ Tears streaming down ~

  
   I reached out to a star
      pulled it into my hand
   It slipped through my fingers
      into Time's sands

   Where it twinkled at you
      from long years ago
   My tears streaming down
      the night you let go...

it's out of my reach

it slipped through my fingers

it's on the tip of my tongue

it's buried under my thoughts

just out of sight

was it purpose, light?

I can't remember

maybe if i lay in bed

through another afternoon

it'll find its way back...

they started things out
thinking they had it all under control
little did they know that
emotions change
into different shapes and forms

disappeared just like that
all they were left with

Why does he make me feel this way?
I'm torn into two

Life flies by, the saying goes.
Ridiculous, I cringe,It was right 
under your nose!

We forgot we created our lives. 
It slipped through our fingers!
Like soft butter on a warm knife!

Easy to blame anyone as to what 
went wrong.
But that seems to be humanity's 
love song.

Whatever our age, we are still in  
charge.
You will remain free,it's your duty, 
happily, most large!
