Drops of Time

Drops of Time

A Poem by BlueEyes
"

This is an old poem of mine...

"

Drops of time
Seconds, minutes, hours
I catch them with my hands
And put them in glass jars
With fireflies
Or hang them on the ceiling
Among paper cranes
But too soon they are gone
Lost to the universe
Nothing but soft whispers and
The moments I've made with them
Remain

Wonderful game with drops of time and fireflies or paper cranes.
Amazed by the power of imagination.

accessible poetry...this draws the picture, tugs at the heart---it works.

we get a dose of time...and how we use it will either give us peace within ourselves or...

My Dear Writing Friend,
A beautiful word mosaic made with just fifty-one words that made me smile. Simple, poignant, and full of simplicity. This made my pneuma ponder for hours, well done.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

There is an elegance to your words... time being ever captured, but ever slipping through our fingers... Beautiful and bittersweet longing...
