Well, I thought I'd post a poem...so here is one...

Life

Time passes
Running fading
Fingers through our lives…
You go to bed one night
A child
Wake up the next morning
Aged…
Confused, in a state of dream like agony
Where has the warmth
Of life gone?
The blissful innocence
Of the child’s mind?
Everything is so complicated…
A clanking bucket
Against the empty walls
Of what was once a full well.
We lie there, silent,
Knowledge of what
Once was pushing
To break free.
And then we realize
What is now.
What can be.
What will be.
It frightens us
Presses against us
Takes hold of us
In a grip so terrifyingly strong
That we forget to breathe.
What we’re up against
Is reality.
And this reality
Why does it scare us?
Why do we run from
What cannot be changed?
Perhaps it’s so startling
To think that
Life goes so quickly
Without a pause button
To slow down the clock.
No time for adjustment…
No time for change…
One second you’re in love
The next you don’t know
What to do.
Life…
It’s something we can’t
Change.
But it’s something we
Can leave footprints in.
