Passing the time.....

Passing the time.....

Can I sit along side you

on the dock of the bay

passing the time away

slow and easy, life

is not a bowl of cherries

As I lay back

staring up at the

deep blue sky

wishing I could

fly away somewhere

Honk, honk

goes a tugboat

merrily across the bay

going slow, leisurely

with a great purpose

but do I have one

a purpose of existence

times are changing

seasons come and go

as we while away

the time sitting

on the dock of the bay!

as i was reading I could hear that Otis rending song in the back of my head. sometimes we do let time pass us by, I've wonder many a time whats my purpose and yes! times are changing and season come and go and still I'm siting on the of the bay. you've left me with something to think about.
Excellent write.

It is amazing what we think about sometimes. The imagery in this piece makes me feel like I am there. Great details.
