water at different times seeping thru the night

reflections at night

 There is a joy in being alone and living alone,,, at this time of my life

 fun to sit home   in the dark at night with light of my computer shining

 fun to watch the news for several hours

 fun to drink water or have  some food

 fun to    

  think about how life changes

  for a teen who liked to ride in  simicas and park in the woods

 to a college girl partying and loving mainly

  to a mom moving with the kids all over town

  to a teacher wrangling with idea and wisdom, coping with teens

  to  just quiet me  with the calmness of the dark night

and  dreams that do not come to be

and other dreams that should not come to be

    now, with  the quiet of the dawn comes a half smile

Another journal - another thought
..another night with another dawn...

I believe, everyone has their own perspectives to look ov'r life, time and ov'r the dust of seconds, but the one's quite similar with everyone that's .. perspective ov'r the time - the time that's meant to be gone leaving every spirit .. every individual behind with some kinda forsaken memories... which further impacting the heart every second till .. the darkness.. gone. Very thoughtful you are with words. Deep and poetically realistic poetry you've come up. Well capture the moments of your life.. in words!

Although our gender and circumstances are different, your thoughts on the subject are similar to my own. To look back upon one's life and smile part way isn't so bad, I think. Sometimes I can't manage even that much. Nice, heartfelt writing.
