You taught me not to watch the clock,
The time is not a burden now,
Its feet are light, but heavy are its hands,
Galloping rudely towards the dawn.
I want no end for this fine night,
Lit up stars and camp fire light?
I want no end for this fine night,
Who cares its minutes are finite?
The time is leaking down the clock,
It flows and shows no mercy
And we won’t patch it with stardust,
We won’t stop the leakage.
Changing sameness
All’s changed and all’s the same. Again the sky is cloudy. Again this place is crowded. Again those young faces, filled with embarrassment. What do they know about adult life challenges? Nobody taught how, nobody taught when. When, my friend, have we seized to be a part of it? Why, my friend, are we supposed to leave? Still welcoming the gusts of fresh air, still not avoiding the rain, still burning our fingers with an icy mojito…
All’s the same but all’s changed. Never shall the sky be as blue as it was. Never shall the clouds recreate the pattern of that day. Never shall this place be crowded with us; with us and all our friends and the friends of friends. Never shall this place smell of us, be overwhelmed with us, overflow with us. It shall always lack us. Be deprived of us…
All has changed but all is the same. The game was postponed, the plans were cancelled. This place still retains the smell of us. You know? Fresh mint is in the air…
Today’s Daily Post’s promt was the word “Inevitable” and the infinite variety of associations it may bring up. For me, inevitable are the changes, the process of growing up and facing your new self. The more you resist it, the most persistent are the changes. So, the only reasonable response is to embrace them and live in harmony!
Time Spiral
It goes around and around and around,
Takes you here and there, all round,
Takes you up to the moon, and back to the ground,
New places, then back again to background,
Then you look back to see what you found,
But once in a fury you burn every tie and bound,
You try to flee, but it’s faster than hound,
Oh, my, what hound? The speed of the sound…
But once you stop it fools you round,
It seems a lake, but it’s too profound,
Wanna dive in? And what if you drowned,
It only knows if you be hanged up or crowned!
Till death do us part
I’ll be by your side
My life and my time
Eternally intertwined!
I stretched myself, slacking in the sunshine,
After the lunch, lacking of energy again,
Strongly motivated to do absolutely nothing
What a beautiful day to stay and lay in!
Contemplating the perfectness of the universe,
Meditating upon the vanity of existence, Read the rest of this entry →
