Written on Friday April 16th 2004. Inspiration comes at anytime or place. I tend to jot an idea down when I sense a piece coming. It may be finished on the spot or be just an idea to work on. This is my first piece on this site. Hope you will enjoy the re


TIME LIKE FEATHERS

There is a folder of poetic verse
It's writer speaks from the heart, not rehearsed
Has looked far back in time
Revealed lots of laughs and poetic rhyme.

T'was in tidying up her cosy nook,
Searching for a special book.
Never afore thought to break the seal
But countless thoughts it did reveal.

Won't you spare some time one day, maybe
To reminisse and think of how it used to be
When friends and hopeful lovers used to meet
To have a laugh, share a seat, hold hands in the street.

We two have gone our seperate ways
Chose how and whom we'd spend our days.
Friends for life we hoped we'd be
Now it seems that time has taken the 'you' and left just 'me'.

If only we could go into the past
Take out bad memories, let them be lost.
Bring back the good and let them live on
Time's now spent, accept that it is gone.

Reality is that once time is spent
Know you too that your life is only leant
So in doing what you do and it matters that much to you,
Make sure that thoughts you recall portray the good you do!

"Friends and hopeful lovers" are some of our best moments and memories . . . so often they become regrets and recriminations, but you see and celebrate the good in both their coming into our lives and the passing out of them, leaving gratitude for the time we had.

I hope only the first of many you will post. You will find gracious and generous readers here.
