Period End

Fate the end game
time is fleeting
Moments pass
hate unleashing
Choices lost
reason stalls
Darkness calling
—hell enthralled

Premium Member Carpe Diem

Seize the moment,
Seize the day,
Time is fleeting
So they say.

Time is flying,
Time is flowing
Onward to the sunset,
In an instant 'twill be going.

Do not rage
Against the torrent, 
The best of life
Is in the moment.

Premium Member What Will I Do

What will I do when there's no longer sky?
What will I do when I can no longer see eye to eye?
What will I do when Time is fleeting by?
What does one do to calm you and not be sad all day?

The answer is to pray my friend and pray and pray today.

Premium Member A Leaf

Twisting, turning, the tiny leaf, made it's way to the ground. For another of God's creations life has ended; A short life it may seem; Only a season. Such is it with the life of man. Man is here, only for a little season. Time is fleeting, and after this Eternity!

Premium Member live for today

and what you don't know
can hurt you
time is fleeting
time is fickle
one moment everything is wonderful
the next the sky is falling

nothing is given nothing is free
we can't take life for granted
tomorrow is not guaranteed
all we ever have is today

Early morning 
up before the sun. 
I sit in my recliner 
in my high rise 
apartment. 
Watching the day 
begin. 
Traffic buzzing. 
Sky line slowly 
broadening. 
Chasing away 
the cold, 
dark night. 
Relaxed enjoying 
my waking moments, 
time dictates no more 
lounging about. 
Time is fleeting.

Retreat

Stimulation my desire till my battery runs low.
Disturbed thoughts are frequent before i journey to my sanctuary.
Queen's pain descends my resting heart.
As bright white flickers hazel.
The good one is crossed with Hall standing tall.
Darkness is here following adjustment without tools.
Time is fleeting i won't seal the lid too soon.

Premium Member Live In Each Season As It Passes

 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

Moisture in the breeze; soft
Against my left cheek; caressing
My devout spirit calling; within 
rains of soul; depth's flow
 

This polar-
Half moon wolf cries,
new moon
rains of soul; depth's flow


Creatures never before seen

time is fleeting,
It is just time

Relax I tell myself when murmurs still
of twilight

What do I seek?

It is already there;
here waiting

The Present

Thinking Out Loud 2 Miracle Man 4/12/2024 Each year is a chapter that remains to be written. Time is fleeting and by past events we’re oft smitten. Years will make up the book that chronicles our life. Each chapter passes faster as we contemplate afterlife. We can’t erase chapters even though some may stink. Purge hurtful thoughts for we become as we think.

Emptiness

Feeling empty
heart is hollow
indifferent
to everything around
listening 
to the sound of voices
disconnected from reality

Drifting
through life
day and night
mind and body are awake
but the heart is asleep
everything seems wrong
nothing seems right

Happiness is so brief
like a moving shadow 
in the night
time is fleeting
like the passing wind
nothing stays the same
life is but an empty dream

Here I Go

The time is fleeting

Together with our withered souls

Oh, how tragedy ends us with nothing

But an empty casket



This wretched life has come to an end

Welcoming me to go straight ahead

I don't know what it means

But my body knew where to go



"Come... come here, my children", it said

Oh, truly, it's so majestic

The sound that's calling me

And here I go, feeling jubilant for the first time

Premium Member Time

It seems to me that my Time is fading. Each day is full of new challenges. Although, we may not know how much Time one has, we need not take Time for granted. It's best to occupy your Time doing good for others. If you have a talent, then share it with others. Since Time is a short-multipier, use it wisely among people. If you know your Time is fleeting, then find a way to make it stretch.

Surrender Blue

So frail and slender
and pale and tender
How can one not surrender
into the blue
of the sky that is you
and not fall in love sweet pretender

So delicate and true
tucked beneath the endless blue
with kisses intended for you
sealed with love
from higher above
angels fly swiftly after to pursue

I held you there
in loving care
only wanting a life for us to share
yet time is fleeting
and ever retreating
from us in this worldly fair.

Premium Member Growing Old

Come sit with me and take my hand,
We’ll watch soft twilight fade to grey.
While stars begin their sparkling show,
And crickets start their noisy play.

Come sit with me and reminisce,
While climbing roses trail along the vine.
We’ll talk of days gone long ago,
And memories grown sweet as wine.

Come sit with me and kiss my tears,
While birds their wings do gently fold.
I fear our time is fleeting now,
For along the way we have grown old.

Never Stray

The night is cold
dark, lonely
Whipping wind
moaning, crying
The words won't come
longing, waiting
Time is fleeting
soaring, decaying
Searching onward
evening, morning
Afternoons lazy
lounging, sighing
Warm soft kisses of the summer sun
My memories fading
blurring, smearing
But your face..... remains
refuses to depart
In my heart
pulsing, yearning
Present in my thoughts
running, racing
Your hands soft
roaming, holding
Never Stray

I'M Counting the Days

I'm Counting The Days


I'm counting the days,
I'm counting on you,
I'm counting the minutes I'm missing you.
I wish you never left,
I wish you never left me behind,
I wish you never left without a good-bye.
I'm counting the days,
I'm counting the words,
I'm counting the slow years away from you.
When we meet again let us be embraced by
each other arms.I can't wait since life is some
thing wonderful.Time is fleeting life is moving.
but until we see each other again, I'll be counting the days.
