Only time for dreamingA Poem by willwebReflective poetry~ From where we stand, the shore gathers minute fragments, tiny pieces of the past, short sleeve summers and popsicle kisses behind the cattails Now frozen, the once reflective waters reminded us of those days we wished would never end, like the ripples we counted formed by skipping stones Still as I look, I can see things as they might have been had this all happened before and worlds were much closer along then quiet streets Where sidewalks were made for holding hands and tree trunks held our once carved initials, inside of a big heart with an arrow So, tell me why I still hear the shouts of neighbors pointing, drawing curtains, trying to sleep as this search for those days continues and as well I'd like to know, why didn't time stand still for us while everything else moved so quickly, leaving little time for love and only time for dreaming
