I still stand here and watch
Glimpses of you floating past
If only you would hold still
And I would bend you to my will
Which will? You stop to ask
When I have lived and seen it;
Where you have lived, loved and lost!
Which will do you speak of and boast?
Loving laughter bubbling your throat
Jovial @24, bubbly @24
I still stand watch, wondering –
WHAT FOR?
Are you happy @44?
Are you groovy @44?
Are you HAWT @44?
I will not move from my post soon –
WHAT FOR?
That’s when it comes – that whisper;
Gently chilling,
Forcefully endearing,
Alarmingly alluring,
Surprisingly wrapped in wisdom. . .
“For you to live, love, learn & know-
Leave that post – live a lot!”
Life in abundance! Leave that post!
My Saviour’s intention
To live my life in abundance!
To live a lot
Gale force winds, burning skies
Swaying me from that intended way
Stubbornly I refuse to move
I will live a WHOLE lot!!!
Fear of the unforeseen expiry date creeps in
A little like a little spider in my ear
Whispering words and sentences I couldn’t hear
Tickling sensations pleasantly disturbing
Carry me off to sleep on fearful spider legs
Even in dreamland I can’t shake you off;
Down a forgotten alley I chase you,
Screaming & shouting till I am hoarse
Willing you to, “SHOW YOURSELF!!!”
Flashes of the little lot I have lived go past
My knees meet the ground with a thud
Fists rising and raising dust as I pound the ground
I lift my face to the dead end road ahead
A scorching scream violates my lips & shoots out of me
Energy leaves me – I thought we could meet finally!
Lightning slices the sky dazzling me
Tenderly I feel that spider marching all over my body
Seems it has grown many a leg, its touch feather light
The dream melts into reality
Back to desert waste land from that alley
You are washed away by the rain
Yet you linger on in reality
“Live, love, learn, know –I hear it all over again – that whisper,
Leave the past and live a lot!
The river flows. . .
