Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 100
Time is the longest distance between two places. ~Tennessee
Williams
When I was 10 years old
time moved like an
injured bird
seeming to slowly flail to the ground
I felt stuck right where I stood
but I knew one day I
too would fly
move on like 100 migrating birds
traveling fast and far to a better place
then in my 20s I burned
candles from both ends
trying to capture the moment like a roll of film
I entered every door that would let me in
racing around at 100 miles an hour
but getting nowhere I should be
now I am much older and we shall leave it at that
and time seems to move me faster than my feet can go
but it has taught me that now is where it is at
for I am content to linger right where I stand.
Note: With all that is going on in the world right now, I
think we all have been feeling concerned and stressed. Uncertainty can be a scary thing. It is wonderful to be able to reach out to
you all here in the way we always do. No
need to social distanced ourselves in blogland, and that is a blessing
indeed! Thank you, friends, for continually
joining us at the Muse! Your loyal
participation and amazing poetry brightens my world every week!
