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
