Lost in a moment between now and then

'

 

Lost in a moment between now and then,

gazing ahead at the moon

Asking in echoes again and again,

maybe I questioned too soon

 

Balanced alone on the edge of a shelf,

clinging to what I believe

Looking at no one except at myself,

something I’ve yet to conceive

 

Destiny answers the memories shown,

dreams I have placed on the sill

Dancing in shadows of times I have known,

somehow it seems that they will

 

For here I sit on a couch in the dark,

pondering something I knew

Closing my eyes as my thoughts do embark,

how much I’m thinking of you

 

Every handle on every door,

spins as if time has a place

Locking the feeling of love evermore,

below these floors that I pace

 

Now all I have are these wishes I send,

tapering off down the hall

Lost in a moment between now and then,

still me, in spite of it all

Seems like no matter what, I will always be me.

Well, I certainly hope that you will always be you; for you are a wondrous thing to be! This one is melancholic. Dust yourself off and get back up, dear sir. You are a star!

I wonder if we fall off the shelf of what we believe, will we shatter into pieces? Or hit a lucky bounce and just keep going.
the moment between now and then...a moment to ponder,

Good questions. At my age I would think shatter would be more like what would happen.
Thanks so much Jacob.

Has the sound of regret to it. We get the feeling of one pondering past behavior, possibly wishing certain things had remained unsaid. Maybe we unconsciously create these situations in order to wake ourselves up.

[willweb]

Not really but maybe...hey, I just write these, I don't inspire them. : )

[Lorry]

It is a reoccurring theme, isn't it Will, that we can change so much about our lives, but we shall forever be us. A guy gets a new haircut and outfit, no one notices, but a woman does the same and reinvents herself!!!
I'd say it was no fair, but it just sounds like sour grapes.... Because its no fair!!! 😊

[willweb]

I agree, it is not fair. Every gone into a department store looking for the men's department? You have to go through 15 different women's clothing departments to find the corner they stuck the men's clothing in. : )
