Time stood still

Love, does time really matter

 

 

Time stood still

 

A vision in the distance

as if my mind deceives

This watercolor fancy

of loveliness perceived

 

I dare not move a muscle

or fight against my will

A breath might break the silence

as if all time stood still

 

A crisp cool wind a’ blowing,

my heart does skip a beat

For but this man of simple means,

an angel comes to meet

 

I do not wish to startle,

nor cause an ounce of fear

If this is but a truthful sight,

I pray let her come near

 

The sun it is not moving,

no shadows formed to play

As this angelic vision,

walks to me this day

 

With open armed affection,

she takes me by the hand

And leads me to my fantasy,

then whispers of her plan

 

This day shall last forever,

no setting sun to fill

As if such joy was meant to be

and time it does stand still

"A vision in the distance

Possibly my favorite line ^^^ Perhaps because I love watercolor and so I found a lot of imagery in this... ;) Excellent work, once again. This poem is painted in sheer beauty. (:

I loved this, it was a great write and I loved the structure. It seems like the more fun you have the faster time flies.... I loved it, I wish we could keep hold of them.

Life is full of moments and time is always a factor. Some dasy I can not wait till they end, while others I wish would last forever. Just like your beuaitufl comments my friend, I wish they would never end.

[s y e]

They won't end, haha. Not until the day I leavee.

a wonderful poem - time standing still. Seems like the better the moment is the faster it takes flight.

[Jack...]

I know what you mean. Thanks so much my sweet friend.

I feel the held breath, the fear of moving, lest the spell be broken. Lovely as always, Jack.

Thank you Kathie, sorry about your husband. It seems the love I write about is what resides in your heart as you take care of your loved one.

The rustic look of the watch clock at the start and the script below really is the cherry on top of this amazing poem. This feels so natural like it's a story of someones life, someone normal and simple like me.. it's beautiful. I'm not sure if you're married or not and it's none of my business really but I know whoever you're with is a lucky lady because you really have your way with words and they always have an elegance and charm to them. Bravo Jack, timeless piece.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Keegan, I appreciate you relating to this piece.

"This day shall last forever,

and time it does stand still"

Love that part. If time could stand still, and I could pick one day to last forever it would be the day I got married. No drama, just happiness.

Beautifully written poem Jack.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Kristin. Wouldn't it be nice If we could all pick one day for time to stand still?

[Baby Ricochet]
