There comes a Time

Let it be

There comes a time in life

when we all must say good bye

When we must look at these things

and suddenly know why

Oh I am standing on this earth,

watching all these things go by

And there aren’t many reasons,

yeah there aren’t many times

Where you could think and wonder,

yeah we let these moments fly

 

Oh my loving gods, please, no don’t let it die

Don’t let that flame flicker out and silently pass by

Oh mother I am worried that the time has come and gone

That we all have whispered yes, surely the moment has come

 

And I stand above the ground

with my eyes cast up to the skies

And oh how could I ponder at those

immaculate blue eyes

The way they pulse and shimmer

with that ultimate demise

The fact there comes

a time in life when

we all must say goodbye

 

And if life was made of numbers

how could they not pass for lies

The tender weave of intricate

humanities and crimes

The white sheet of a mast

silently gliding by

These moments are all there

racing through my solemn mind

 

And so I left the embers burning,

smoking for all to see

And in a rounded circle embraced

the colors of our spirituality

So many hearts have pounded

and embraced that steady beat

I was overcome with a love

that was unbeknownst to me

 

Oh my loving gods, just please, don’t let me die

I have not had time to wander, nor time to say goodbye

And in these fleeting moments,

I see all I have not seen

And I wonder if you’ll grant me

some more time to let me see

Let my frail heart ponder

at life’s atrocities,

so I can dig and discover

All that sets my soul, High and Free

i felt this one, i can picture this and sympathise with the longing of that peaceful moment or even the stressful one that ends yet you long for it, as in a person, but must let it all go to embrace a new, yet i since a near death experience toward the end and seeing your unfullfilled and you wanting more in life to fill yourself with more of these moments that make you feel and makes us who we are may it be happy or sad, its something or maby thats just me

It's sad to think of times shortly due to end, and think about how they could be better spent. When you can look back at a time, happy with the actions you made, the time doesn't go as fast than if you wasn't happy; because that way you may feel the time was wasted and went too quick. Having experiences that we can justify, is what makes us happy people in the future, and help us take on the world.

"Oh my loving gods, just please, don’t let me die

In life never enough time to be thankful and kind to people we love and need.
"Let my frail heart ponder

All that sets my soul, High and Free"
I like the words and feel of this poem. I believe always be kind and try to keep the anger away from people. A outstanding poem.

Sometimes it feels like life is passing you by. I cant really explain the feeling its when you think that there are thigns going on around you everywhere and your not a part of them.

I really really like this. In my mind, for some reason i see a young girl wandering the streets at night. speaking these words while staring at the stars. and her eyes are pure blue. =) You clearly did an amazing job.

It took me some time to get into the flow of it, but I liked it overall.I agree with it being set to some music

[Norma M Sutton]

I like it. It needs music.
