The Sands of Time

General musings....

Slowly the shifting sands of time pass by

Grains of opportunity to be grasped

Decisions like the lottery of life

Cascade from deep within your soul

A moment’s hesitation and its lost

Nirvana washed away by swirling winds

Happiness cast out to all the corners of the earth

To blow around the desert that is strife

Redemption from the darkness of the mind

Enlightenment a ray of sweet delight

A chance to live again in ecstasy

Contentment flowing softly through the veins

You see the seagull soar into the clouds

No worries just simplicity divine

The azure blue reflecting on its wings

And forging such exquisite peaceful flight

The mind is floating there upon the wind

It sails with such an open beating heart

Allowing all the sense to respond

Waiting for the patterns to unfold

A rainbow of bright thoughts gush forth

Watering the brain’s perception

Amending the spontaneity of life

Within the depths of your very being

Such instants provide profound remorse

Or tantalising visions of maybe

If lucky they fulfil desires untold

And still life’s journey sallies forth

[Angelic Darkness]

You are a man who understands your own soul of contentment.
There is such solitude within you, and therfore you have been
given the greatest gift. Your words flow on calmness, and a gratititude
for life. Excellent! I love this line:

[An Ordinary Woman]

*And still life's journey sallies forth.


Your poem pretty much wraps up an ordinary woman's life. Yup and yup. I miss you.
