THOUGHTS

Sometimes I wonder

what it would be like

to never have to worry about money, free to concentrate on my craft

maybe tea and an afternoon breeze

to accompany me

A break from the everyday race,
That breaks souls and pokes holes

 in the fabric of families
Nothing would make me happier

 then to spend more time with my kids
I never tire of their smile and laughter,

happiness is my biggest prayer for them

To what do you place importance?
For me It's love, time is only a small
Window in a streaming living room filled with memories,

we are reminded everyday by the sun and the moon

that the end comes eventually,

darkness and then hopefully light will guide us home

Maybe someday my words will outweigh

the constraints of the living
And I will be set free

Nice piece, good collection of those "random" thoughts. I have a bit of a problem reading the first stanza due to the line breaks.... it interrupts the flow a bit.

I really like this... enjoyed the first stanza as well as this part:
"Nothing would make me happier then to spend more time with my kids
I never tire of their smile and laughter,
happiness is my biggest prayer for them"

great work keep it up loved reading this poem

[Coyote Poetry]

I have the same wish. To have time to write and think. More time with family too. Hard to budget time for pleasure. The utopia of the sixties faded away and we were left to work and try to make sense of this world. The last lines are my wish also. A excellent poem.

That freedom is always yearned for...time, even though illusional is something of a tyrant to us all, this hits hard! Beautifully worded too xoxo
