(A)musing Time

messy musings

To know love

I have learned despair

It is a feeling few can get rid of

A weight I can sometimes hardly bear

But...

In understanding loss

I have found worth

In the people who have cut across

The walls I have placed in the earth

Friends fiddle with time

Hundreds of moments crammed into hours

Leaving impressions that can last a lifetime

Knowing nothing this powerful is ever ours

Relationships slip through my fingers

like my hands hold the waters of life

The need for it lingers

Yet I always place others before my strife

For I felt the warmth of the sun pull me from the dark

I have heard the certainty that the rain will end

I have seen how history has left it's mark

And I know that people can change more than they comprehend

For life is a gift

Reminding me how our time is swift

The above lines is true dear Lavi. When love is near, a lover's kiss, a child hand in your hand and the eyes of a grandparent. We are blessed.Thank you dear Lavi for sharing your amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I often feel like I should take a stanza out of every poem I felt was a little trailing and combine it into one powerful poem... yet, at the same time, I like how it helps me sort out my thoughts and see what line of thinking I had when writing this poem. Thank you for your words, my friend.
