Time (for deverse Calendar 11/23/13)



Time



If it had slowed
to the rhythm
of my heart-

Do you think
I would have worn
it better, felt its closeness
between each breath
treasured every tiny grain
as fate etched itself into each line?


I was following a destined path
without guide, only intuition
born of evolution
disguised as doubt-

Fragile as a falling flake of snow
descending to earth, time melts away
and leaves me cold with questions.

  5. Following a destined path, but without a map, cannot be easy....and oh, those questions! Nice one, Lisa.

  6. i think it helps if we slow down to the ryhthm of our heart...our own rhythm...sometimes we tend to let us push and pull by time and all the urgent things that need to be done...ugh...cold with questions.. expresses it well..

    disguised as doubt-"

    " time melts away
    and leaves me cold with questions."
