The First Time

the times and seasons are just so

lessons learned and begging to be tied

with the right one

the only one

in my sight,

words that sang incessently

complete with tears,

or was that only me?

why must we continue to wait

lingering around hushed promises made

late.

as the world sleeps and rustles soft

we carry on with heavy hearts

while this burden grows 

why hesitate

if the sun refused to shine

and the moon stayed put,

would we move to action then

or sit and stare at circumstance

declaring rants without delay

and blow another sign to chance

what more do we need to convince

our hungry hearts

and emptiness,

I knew it from the first time

I know you knew it too...

A lot of things to contemplate and think about. A well written poem...Aloha

this is so good...and can go a couple different ways...on a smaller scale, i see two people not acting on feelings...they both know they want each other but they just wait for the seaons, the karma, everything to just fall into place instead of going for it.

but on a larger scale i see a lack of humanity and love for mankind...that just keeps hesitating to shine like a sun hiding behind the clouds...we need to show ourselves...let loose the passion, love and humanity...

it won't come to us..we need to make the first move..the time, the season, they are both right.
