Life is Fleeting

Life is Fleeting

Fleeting

Enjoy life-

embrace its grace.

Capture it in a snapshot

before its fleeting moment.

Capture the silhouettes of today-

they’re glimpses of time passed.

Tomorrow’s images

tantalizes fulfillment, so

Capture young hearts

while they laugh, and

Capture the old at heart

while they reminisce-

in a few flashes,

laughter of children vanish,

veils are lifted and

old hearts return to dust.

Capture the memories of happiness-

before happiness surrenders to sadness.

Capture the gift of life,

for life is temporal-

Capture life’ presence-

because in its appointed time

it crumbles to the Earth.

Capture life’s journey

and all its milestones-

for there will come a day

life will meet its unwelcome foe

The Return of Promise

WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? 

HOW DID YOU GET IN?

DID SOMEONE GAVE YOU THE KEY?

HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY?

ARE YOU HERE TO ROB?

INTEND TO CAUSE HARM? –

WASN’T IT ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEART BROKE?

OR, IS IT YOU DON’T CARE?

`

IS THIS THE RETURN OF HEARTACHES-

FROM THE ARROWS THROWN BY YOU?

DO YOU TAKE PLEASURE SEEING THE HEART PIERCED OPEN-

WHILE YOU WATCH IT SWALLOWED BY SORROW?

THESE MOMENTS I REMEMBER WELL –

RESURRECTED MEMORIES I WISHED WERE DEAD.`

 

IS THIS A DREAM AMONG MANY?

WILL EYES OPENED MAKE YOU AT EASE TO LEAVE AGAIN?

IS THIS MANIFESTATION OF MEMORIES ONCE CHERISHED –

THE RETURN OF PLEASURE AND BLISS SHARED?

OR IS THIS TORMENT, AND PAIN I DREAD-

THE RETURN OF PROMISES CRUSHED LIKE COLD ICE?

 

IF THIS IS A DREAM, PLEASE DON’T WAKE ME.

BUT, IF I SHOULD AWAKEN,LET THIS BE THE PROMISES

YOU FAILED TO KEEP.

SO, STATE YOUR CLAIM, SPEAK TO ME.`

TIME WILL REVEAL IF THESE ARE THE THINGS I FEAR

OR  IF THESE ARE THINGS I HOLD DEAR.

ITS BEEN AWHILE,

MUCH TOO LONG.

HELLO LOVE –

COME IN

ARE YOU

HERE TO STAY?
