After this weeks poems the next change will be after the 2nd of October,,,,
Now is Forever
How many times you have told me
We only have the now
For too dwell to long in memory
Will cloud my future crown
I see you for a brief time
And then you slip away
Elusive like the clouds
That drift on by each day
Someday I think I’ll count you
To measure in my loss
As I forget the reasons
That clearly were the cost
Of spending just one moment
Reflecting on my dreams
The ones I never act on
Because they were just schemes
Silly little notions
That just got in the way
Of living in this moment
I’ve just let slip away
Tanah Lot Bali
Satellite
I spin around your beauty
I’m here both night and day
I wallow in your glory
You’re such a fine display
The shapes that are your mountains
From here they look so small
It’s strange for me to gather
Down there they look so tall
The waves that top your oceans
Seem to me so still
But they will ever wander
I guess they always will
You may ask who is speaking
And think I am so wise
But I’m just a star that’s blinking
To clear light from my eyes
Shedding My Leaves
I’ve reached a point of impasse
When I myself shed leaves
Just like the trees in autumn
I need some space to breathe
I’ll cast off all the shackles
That held me to my work
And let the soul within me
Pronounce its songs of worth
They’re measured in the smiles
That spread across my face
Which I passed on to others
Who’ve taken up this chase
The one that goes in circles
And never really ends
As spring it runs to summer
And on towards the bend
The bend I call the autumn
That leads to winters place
A place where sleep repairs me
So I at last awake
Awake to skies of plenty
Where I will seem so new
Beneath the realms of angels
That sways against the blue
I’M SHRINKING MY HORIZONS
I’M SHRINKING MY HORIZONS
WHILE PULLING IN MY REINS
THINGS I TOOK FOR GRANTED
JUST DON’T SEEM THE SAME
PEOPLE ARE TO BUSY
TO PASS THE TIME OF DAY
MOMENTS THAT WERE SPECIAL
HAVE SIMPLY GONE AWAY
MEMORIES HAVE FADED
OF TIMES THAT USED TO BE
LOST WITHIN THE PACE
OF LIFE THAT COME TO BE
AN ENDLESS STREAM OF SCIENCE
THAT CHANGES EVERYDAY
BUT STILL I AM NO WISER
WHICH CAUSES ME DISMAY
SO I WILL TAKE NO NOTICE
OF WHAT THE WHITE COATS SAY
AS I SHRINK IN MY HORIZONS
AND HAVE A LITTLE PRAY
AMEN
