Kneeling Down in Time

Knelt down in time, who can say, that life is not forever glowing 

Without doing a full circle inside spaces in their mind

When circumstances do question the proudest man’s sight

On amazing nights, when the full moon is his to find

Can the bottom of your heart get tangled up in winds that stay

Then step inward to wonder why the sky’s not blue

As those thoughts and desires from that one minute past

Softly trickle drop by drop and hold on tight to you

Is this the way it’s always been, just how the deep sea roars

When unexpected words leave nothing but replies

That softly caresses everything you cannot  look upon

Even though you hear it whisper in another’s eyes

Are they never to be thought of, or even touched by our hearts

Without doing full circles inside spaces in our minds

When circumstances question the proudest man’s sight

Will he come untangled, kneeling down in time

Neva,
I always love the way you tie things up so neatly and precise...you have such an art of doing that...repeating just enough to remind us where we've been in your heart and your mind...it's refreshing and beautifully done....all the time...
Another great write....

To feel so much love and to be inspired by so much passion. This is passion for life pouring out from the pen.

[Maya Storm]

The beginning "Knelt down in time" and the end "kneeling down in time" pulled together by a thought so full and complete.

I felt like you were speaking of the life of each and every one of us as a stop in time. Realizing that there is a before and an after and we get just this time to "kneel", to live and to just be. We have this chance to take it all in. At least that is where my thoughts went while reading :)

Your poems are always a kind of voyage into realms I've never imagined.

' .. As those thoughts and desires from that one minute past ~ Softly trickle drop by drop and hold on tight to you .. 'your words are like magnets, they draw the reader deeper and deeper into their own thoughts about what's laid in front of them; you have that special skill of gently, subtly making people think of 'things' they'd not noticed a while.

[Poetic Beauty]

you have a way with spinning a tale that allows the reader to picture the scenes in their mind. This is my favorite line in the poem and stands out the most to me.
