I’m okay and not okay
I’m waiting for the winds
To carry me away
To mountains high
Or valleys low
My eyes cry tears
My heart weeps too
For pain and loss
And constant sorrow
Time goes by
To steal the child
And turn us ever
Older, wiser
Until a time
The ticking stops
Forever
We never knew how much time we would have together, years have passed and we still do not know, and so we try to hold on as firmly as we can, but even as we do so
time slips through our fingers
Yesterday I took a moment, and read my posts of the past year.
A year of my life. A year of sharing. A year of growing and understanding.
Friendships made and lost.
Tears and dreams. Disappointments and temptations.
Still struggling for victory. Still struggling to overcome.
But I have been blessed. My family is safe. I have health. Sound mind. A home.
And I still have time and opportunity.
(Lead me, God, closer to Thee).
Moving outwards
From circles of fire
Moving through
Flames that burn
Entering into
A new beginning
It is happening
It is time
Look forward
To new beginnings
And magical mysteries –
Days past are as dust
On a desert plain
Days stretch long like an
Ocean spanning into the
Distant horizon
Stumbled across this photo from nearly twenty years ago. Made me feel so sad. Time takes from everyone, though I guess it gives back too!
No hi or bye
Or text from you
No song or word
Or call or sigh
I wait alone
I count the time
Screen stays blank
Twelve single sounds –
A midnight chime
Time is fleeting
Hours are passing
Days are ticking by
Skin is ageing
Eyes are straining
Life is passing by
Heart is beating
Emotions feeling
Until the hands
Stand still
